#CompositeOrder - Twitter Hashtag

almost 3 years ago

Blast from the past. The Upper Link or Communications corridor at #ChiswickHouse. This provided an undercover entrance from the old #Jacobean house into the #Gallery of the villa. The architecture is of the #CompositeOrder, hierarchically the most decorative and important of all five of the Roman architectural orders. The ceiling designed is based on a #renaissance drawing of the lid of a #mausoleum in the Roman funerary city of #Pozzuoli, which #Burlington owned in his collection. The arch above the entablature was copied by #RobertAdam in the library at #KenwoodHouse. The screens of columns divide the room up and reference the Roman bathhouses. The view of the gardens shows #funeraryUrns and #CypressTrees in memory of those buried along the route of the #ViaAppia which was the main road leading to Ancient Rome. A splash of colour was added here in the 20th century with the loans of three paintings painted in an en grisaille palette by #SirGodfreyKneller of #Hercules, #Apollo and #Venus. Regrettably, they have now been returned to their loaner, Lord Bathurst. Originally they hung in #AlexanderPopes Villa at Crossdeep, Twickenham. @Chiswick_House @EHKenwood
