Chiswick House is a Palladian villa constructed between 1725 and 1729 for Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, on his estate in Chiswick, west London. Designed by Burlington himself in emulation of the classical architecture of Andrea Palladio and the Veneto, the building represents a seminal statement of English Palladianism and exerted considerable influence on eighteenth-century country house design. The compact, domed structure with its porticoed front and distinctive corner towers displays the restrained elegance characteristic of the style, whilst the interior contains richly decorated rooms with paintings, sculptures and ornamental plasterwork arranged according to principles derived from classical precedent. Surrounding the house is a landscaped garden, substantially remodelled in the nineteenth century, which originally formed part of Burlington's wider vision for the estate and its integration with contemporary ideals of taste and improvement.
