Image description

Deer palings now replaced by brick wall. Some of the lead figures painted in white (actually to represent lead colour?), including the Spinario Atlas painted with yellow/gold (actually to represent bronzing?). The four views were probably to commemorate the transformation of house and park over the previous half-century by Lord Warrington. They are a unique record of an 18th Century formal landscape...and they are also amongst the last paintings of country houses ever to be produced in the form of the 'bird's-eye view'.
