James Brydges, the first Duke of Chandos (1674-1744), was an outstanding patron of the arts during the first half of the 18th century. This book considers the Duke's patronage, measured against the artistic context of his age. It shows how Chandos strove to establish a taste for the Palladian in England, which was to define the Georgian era.
