The Grand Tour. Destination Italy - Ariane van Suchtelen - książka
Producent: ACC Art Books
Today, travel is swift, comfortable, and accessible for many people. However, from the 17th to the early 19th centuries, it was an exclusive privilege of the affluent. Young British aristocrats embarked on the Grand Tour as the final part of their educational journey. Italy was often the pinnacle of this cultural expedition, featuring iconic cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as the natural wonder of Mount Vesuvius. During their travels, they admired art, marveled at architecture, established connections, and refined their cultural tastes, often returning with artworks and souvenirs to decorate their country residences. It wasn't only young men who undertook these tours; entire families traversed Europe in lavish entourages. What drove these travelers, what paths did they explore, and what treasures did they return with? This book delves into these journeys and showcases a remarkable array of artworks brought back to three of England's most distinguished stately homes: Holkham Hall, Burghley House, and Woburn Abbey.
