Publisher's black boards, pictorial dustjacket. As new. London, Aurum Press, 2008. 4to. 30,5 x 25 cms. 176 pp. Richly illustrated with beautiful colour photos and black & white pictures from the archives of Country Life. With select bibliography and index. Contents:"Vanbrugh's first great house" (Castle Howard, Yorkshire), "A du…ke's palace in the Roman spirit" (Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire), "Vanbrugh's enchanted castles" (Kimbolton Castle, Cambridgeshire, Kings Weston, Gloucestershire, Vanbrugh Castle, Greenwich, London, Lumley Castle, Co. Durham), "Vanbrugh's last great houses" (Seaton Delaval Hall, Northumberland, Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire), "Vanbrugh and the country house landscape", "Vanbrugh today". - - - (Publisher:) "The country houses designed by Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) are some of the most original and memorable works of architecture in Britain. Judged 'the Shakespeare of Architects' by Sir John Soane, Vanbrugh was the designer of Castle Howard in Yorkshire and Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, two of the great iconic houses of their age - indeed of any age. Castle Howard was his first commission in 1699. Dominating its magnificent landscape, it is the first country house in England to carry a dome, its hall an unforgettable architectural space; while mighty Blenheim, a gift to the 1st Duke of Marlborough by a grateful Queen and nation after his great victory in 1704, built on a vast scale, shows off Vanbrugh's genius for the ostentatious and dramatic. Vanbrugh also designed or remodelled a string of amazing less well-known country houses, sometimes described as 'enchanted castles', such as Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland, Kings Weston in Gloucestershire and Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire, as well as making a considerable contribution to some of the greatest landscape gardens in England, such as the Doric Lake Pavilions and Temple of Venus at Stowe. His life was as remarkable as his houses. He was the son of a merchant of Flemish origins; his mother was related to many of the great landed families of the day. He began his career as a merchant, travelled to India in the service of the East India Company, served as an army officer, was arrested later as a civilian in France and imprisoned on suspicion of being a spy, and became one of the leading Restoration dramatists, writing and producing witty, risqué comedies, including The Relapse. Then at the age of thirty-five, Vanbrugh turned his lively mind to architecture; his clients, belonging principally to the Whig faction of politics, were fellow members of the famous Kit-Cat Club. Vanbrugh was the target of Swift's satire, who mockingly described the elaborate, small house he built for himself as 'a thing resembling a goose pie'. In 1702, he became Comptroller of the Queen's Works and was later knighted by George I. Jeremy Musson, drawing on Country Life's unrivalled archive, brings together 150 of the finest photographs of Vanbrugh's surviving country houses, specially taken for the magazine over a period of more than one hundred years. A lively biographical essay looks at his remarkable life, character, and the critical relationship he had with his brilliant assistant, Nicholas Hawksmoor. The breathtaking images of his major works are accompanied by engaging accounts of his great houses and their landscapes, revealing the imaginative genius, ambition and wit of one of the outstanding English Baroque architects".
