Description

Strawberry Hill, Twickenham, is the fantasy gothic revival castle that was conceived and built by the influential art historian and antiquarian Horace Walpole (1717–1797) with his art collection in mind. For this exhibition many pieces from his collection, which was dispersed at auction in 1842, will be for the first time reunited and displayed in their original settings within the castle. This beautifully illustrated accompanying book describes the complex relationship between the house and its works of art, and allows a deeper understanding of the context and processes of Walpole’s collecting and its relationship to the house.

Author information

Dr Silvia Davoli is the Research Curator at Strawberry Hill. Since 2013 she has been researching the whereabouts of the Walpole Collection.
