Om verket
Preliminary design for the statue of the architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) by designer and architect William Kent (1685-1748). It was commissioned by Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington for the entrance front of Chiswick House, Middlesex, and executed by J.M. Rysbrack, c. 1727. The bearded head shown in the drawing differs completely from the clean-shaven portrait of Palladio represented by Rysbrack and may well be no more than Kent's original idea.
Kent visited Rome in 1715 where he met Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington who became his patron. Boyle encouraged Kent’s interest in architecture when they returned to London together and Kent soon started receiving commissions for buildings and furniture in the classical style. His most famous buildings include Holkham Hall, Norfolk, and the Horse Guards, Whitehall.
