The Bulletin  

THE PETROV REPORT -page zs  

“The Bulletin,” Vol 76—No. 3947  

Wednesday October 5, 1955  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.§.W„ Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

CHATSWORTH'S PAINTED HALL  

IS LAGUERRE'S VAST CANVAS  

TJRITAIN is rich in opportunities for  

** seeing what the great painters of the  

past could achieve on walls and ceilings  

when their imaginations were unfettered  

by the restraining limit of the picture  

frame. Antonio Verrio, Laguerre, James  

Thornhill, Rubens and De Critz are  

names which stand out above all others  

in this form of art, and their work can  

be seen today in palaces and country  

mansions which are open to the public.  

An outstanding example of Laguerre’s  

work can be seen in the Painted Hall of  

magnificent Chatsworth, home of the  

Dukes of Devonshire, which stands in its  

spacious park near Bakewell in Derby-  

shire. Laguerre, who worked at Chats-  

worth at the end of the seventeenth-  

century, covered the walls and ceiling,  

shown in the accompanying illustration,  

with immense compositions based on the  

life of Julius Caesar and heroic  

rendering of his reception by the gods  

after the sands of mortality had run out.  

The fine staircase rising from the Hall  

is modern, and the gilt ironwork was  

copied from the balustrade wrought in  

1689 by the great French artist, Tijou,  

for the Great Stairs seen through the  

archway.  

From the Painted Hall corridor leads  

to the Chapel, in which Laguerre painted  

the walls and ceiling, but his finest work  

is to be seen in the State Rooms, which  

are the main feature of this palatial  

house. They comprise the State Dressing  

Room, the State Bedroom, the State  

Music Room, the State Drawing Room  

and the Great Chamber. Vast is the  

word which describes them all, and many  

years of painstaking work went into  

their decoration. Many of them contain  

priceless works of art, and among the  

many pictures in the famous Devonshire  

Collection are those by Van Dyck,  

Titian, Holbein, Reynolds and Leonardo  

da Vinci.  

No less renowned are the stately  

gardens which surround this great  

mansion, known as the Palace' of the  

Peak. Cascades, fountains, ponds and  

broad walks lined with statues recall  

the gardens of Versailles. Death duties  

on the late Duke of Devonshire’s estate  

amounted to the prodigious sum of  

£2,400,000, which gives some indication  

of the value placed on this great country  

house, its incomparable contents and its  

surroundings.  

No. 266: the Homeland Series by The House of Seppelt.
