Fix this textTJRITAIN is rich in opportunities for
Fix this text** seeing what the great painters of the
Fix this textpast could achieve on walls and ceilings
Fix this textwhen their imaginations were unfettered
Fix this textby the restraining limit of the picture
Fix this textframe. Antonio Verrio, Laguerre, James
Fix this textThornhill, Rubens and De Critz are
Fix this textnames which stand out above all others
Fix this textin this form of art, and their work can
Fix this textbe seen today in palaces and country
Fix this textmansions which are open to the public.
Fix this textAn outstanding example of Laguerre’s
Fix this textwork can be seen in the Painted Hall of
Fix this textmagnificent Chatsworth, home of the
Fix this textDukes of Devonshire, which stands in its

Fix this textwith immense compositions based on the
Fix this textlife of Julius Caesar and a heroic
Fix this textrendering of his reception by the gods

Fix this textis to be seen in the State Rooms, which
Fix this textare the main feature of this palatial
Fix this texthouse. They comprise the State Dressing
Fix this textRoom, the State Bedroom, the State
Fix this textMusic Room, the State Drawing Room
Fix this textand the Great Chamber. Vast is the
Fix this textword which describes them all, and many
Fix this textyears of painstaking work went into

Fix this textpriceless works of art, and among the
Fix this textmany pictures in the famous Devonshire
Fix this textCollection are those by Van Dyck,
Fix this textTitian, Holbein, Reynolds and Leonardo
Fix this textda Vinci.
Fix this textNo less renowned are the stately
Fix this textgardens which surround this great
Fix this textmansion, known as the Palace' of the
Fix this textPeak. Cascades, fountains, ponds and
Fix this textbroad walks lined with statues recall
Fix this textthe gardens of Versailles. Death duties

Fix this textamounted to the prodigious sum of
Fix this text£2,400,000, which gives some indication

Fix this texthouse, its incomparable contents and its
Fix this textsurroundings.
