Description & Specifications

Blenheim is perhaps considered the grandest of the majestic houses and the finest example of Baroque architecture in Great Britain, representing a treasure of English heritage. In this stunning volume, Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, the twelfth generation of the family, invites us on a privileged tour inside the palace. Designed by John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor (a student of Christopher Wren) in the early 1700s, with stone constructions, furniture, and tapestries by the finest artists of the time, along with artworks and sculptures by renowned artists such as John Singer Sargent and Joshua Reynolds, Blenheim is filled with artistic commissions that provide a glimpse into England's history. In addition to the grand state rooms and extensive landscaped gardens, Spencer-Churchill shows us the family's private apartments, with secret corridors and stories of important visitors, as well as the staff area with its iconic bell system. Featuring beautiful photographs of the splendid interiors and precious collections, along with Spencer-Churchill's captivating text, this volume illuminates Blenheim like never before.
