Chatsworth Through Time, Episode Four: Collecting and Reshaping

Explore Five Hundred Years of Art and Architecture at a Historic Estate

Chatsworth Through Time, produced in partnership with the Duke of Devonshire and the Chatsworth House Trust, explores the history, architecture, landscape, and collections of Chatsworth House. Beginning in the Tudor Period and progressing through five hundred years of history all the way to the 21st century, this series explores the world of Chatsworth, with its own curators, Alice Martin, Head of the Devonshire Collection, and Dr. Alex Hodby, Senior Curator of Programme, as our guides.

Episode Four: Collecting and Reshaping looks at how the house and the land surrounding it have changed and adapted over the centuries to reflect new political developments, social realities, and changing styles. The curators examine artwork by Thomas Smith, James Paine, and Jeffry Wyatville for clues about how Chatsworth has evolved over the centuries, and they also discuss how the landscape architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown began the shift away from formal gardens to the rolling parklands familiar to the estate’s visitors today.
