Description
Chiswick House is one of the most glorious examples of 18th-century British architecture. The third Earl of Burlington (1694-1753), who designed this elegant Classical villa, drew inspiration from his ‘grand tours’ of Italy.
A promoter of the Palladian style originally pioneered in Britain by Inigo Jones, Burlington sought to create the kind of villa and garden found in the suburbs of ancient Rome. To do so, he employed William Kent to create sumptuous interiors to contrast with the pure exterior.

Nice shot. I wonder if those statues were real or replicas.

Great Statues, Excellent.

great shot! I have often wondered though why old statues never had arms, did they run out of concrete?

Great shot, they look like they spent some considerable time out doors, the one on the left, looks like he's been burnt and its scarred his face. Great detail. alhak I think the gladiators used them for practice. Bravo!!!!!

Absolutely marvelous. The pov is the key to this formal, yet inviting shot.
