This splendidly illustrated book provides an introduction to the magnificent paintings that form one element of The Bute Collection at Mount Stuart. It is the first in a series planned to celebrate each aspect of Mount Stuart’s rich cultural heritage.
The Bute Collection is one of the foremost collections of fine and decorative arts, books and archival material in Britain, particularly noted for its Dutch Golden Age masterpieces and British 18th-century portraiture. Assembled over three centuries by several generations of the Crichton-Stuart family, the Earls and Marquesses of Bute, parts of the collection can be seen today at the neo-gothic ancestral family seat of Mount Stuart, Isle of Bute – an architectural masterpiece in its own right.
