Paul Sandby Hackwood Park,
Hampshire Built by the 1st Duke of Bolton in 1683-87, Hackwood Park stands to the south of Basingstoke in southern England. Its best known feature was a large classical garden, although Sandby presents a scene of rustic charm rather than formality. His painting was commissioned by Charles, 5th Duke, along with that of another ducal property, Bolton Park in Yorkshire; they probably hung as decorations in the duke's newly refurbished London home at 37 Grosvenor Square. |
