English Heritage: Chiswick House and Grounds
Chiswick
About
An elegant example of British 18th-century architecture, inspired by a love of Italy. Commissioned by the third Earl of Burlington and styled on Roman architecture, you can experience the grandeur of Burlington's home. Recently installed additions to the collection of paintings now compliments the beautiful painted and gilded ceilings. The house is also surrounded by Italianate classical gardens. With their statuary and half-hidden temples, they form a perfect setting for the house.
