Petworth House was home to a patron of the arts and close friend of landscape Artist JM Turner. His two passions were art and women. Set in beautifully designed grounds and owned by the art-loving third Earl of Egremont, Petworth was the inspiration for many famous painters.

Excellent documentary. On the whole, I'd rather have learned more about Morris and about the residents of A La Ronde, and less about the Third Earl of Petworth, but this was a well-structured and thematically very appropriate documentary. Thank you for posting it.

The third Earl was NOT a Victorian, dying in the year that Victoria became queen, 1837. He was a Georgian, born (probably) in the early reign of George the Third.
@barrymoore4470
@barrymoore4470 Жыл бұрын
He was born in 1751, in the reign of George II. It could be correctly stated that the Earl died a Victorian (as a subject of Queen Victoria), but it is true that 'Victorian' would not describe his status for the bulk of his life.

Why were a lot of the country houses just “stuck out” in the middle is a flat piece of the land, no gardens or trees, or landscaping surrounding the house? The gardens were set off away from the house.
@pdruiz2005
@pdruiz2005 Жыл бұрын
That's traditional English landscape gardening as pioneered by the likes of Capability Brown in the mid-1700s. A big slab of flat land covered in verdant grasses surrounding the main house, and then long, wide, uninterrupted vistas of more grassy knolls and carefully planted and pruned trees to make it look like "nature." Once in a while you get a large water feature, like a pond or small lake, and a "folly" or two. (Follies were artificial ruins to add character to the landscape). This was all a rebellion from formal French and Italian gardens, which were very rectangular, with highly clipped ornamental plants and extremely controlled features, like square ponds and ruler-straight trees.

It could be accurately stated that the Earl was a Victorian for the last few months of his life, dying within the first year of Queen Victoria's reign. But I agree, it would be preferable to refer to him, certainly within the context of this presentation, as a Georgian aristocrat.

@@kennethbrooks1134 "if you were well studied in history" is something that only someone who has no clue what they're talking about would say. Unlike you, I would never make such an outlandish claim. No, I'm not a "history expert", no one is, because it's far too broad a topic and the records for most of it is far too limited. However I am very well educated in US history, particularly of the 18th and 19th centuries. Considering the current system of our two main political parties has only existed since the 1850s, how far back are you referring to? Oh you don't know do you, because you're just tossing out a word salad in hopes that you won't get called on it.
