Discover the history of one of the richest private collections of Old Master drawings in the country
Between 1694 and 1755 the first three Dukes of Devonshire heavily acquired Old Master paintings, prints and drawings both on continent and in Britain. Thanks to their endeavours, Chatsworth now holds one of the richest private collections in the country.
Focusing on the drawings collection, this talk will explore the Dukes’ collecting tastes and present some of the most beloved objects by the greatest masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rembrandt, Van Dyck and many more.
