*Cancelled Southwold Arts Festival ~ The House – Dr John-Paul Stonard

Based on his 2021 book Chatsworth, Arcadia, this narrated film-lecture evokes the atmosphere and history of Chatsworth House. Set in an unspoilt Derbyshire valley and home to the Cavendish family for sixteen generations, this treasure house is filled with works of art and objects – from Nicolas Poussin's The Arcadian Shepherds and Antonio Canova's Endymion to great contemporary commissions. Stonard’s 2021 book Creation. Art Since the Beginning was nominated a Sunday Times Art Book of the Year.
