A stunningly original portrait of one of Englands grandest country housesNo house embodies the spirit of one dynasty better than Chatsworth. Set in an unspoilt Derbyshire valley, surrounded by wild moorland, and home to the Cavendish family for sixteen generations, this treasure house is filled with works of art and objects from Nicolas Poussins The Arcadian Shepherds and Antonio Canovas Endymion to great contemporary paintings by Lucian Freud and David Hockney which have all, in their time, represented the very best of the new. As Stoker Cavendish, the twelfth Duke of Devonshire, likes to point out Everything was new once.Following the completion of a decadelong programme of renovations, the exterior of Chatsworth is gleaming, its stone faade newly cleaned and its window frames freshly gilded. Inside, through the inspired juxtaposition of old and modern, its rooms fizz with creative energy. Chatsworth, Arcadia, Now tells the story of this extraordinary place through seven scenes from its life, alongside a stunning photographic portrait of the house and its collections, captured at a moment of high optimism in its long history.With a foreword by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.
