Seeing Fragonnard's The Swing is like meeting up with an old friend. It has always been an essential visit when in London, and I have finally got round to seeing it again. A rococo masterpiece. 💃 . . . #JeanHonoreFragonard #TheSwing #WallaceCollection #Fragonard #Rococo #art #painting #arthistory #museum #artstagram #HertfordHouse #London #Londonart #instaart #instadaily (à The Wallace Collection)

Our first project in Herford. Four storey 1820s Regency property built for the doctors of Herford Hospital. Let's add an orangery kitchen to the south-facing back garden and restore the interior to its former glory. #hertford #hertfordshire #hertfordhouse #georgian #listedbuilding #listed

Hertford house, Manchester square - The Wallace Collection exhibition review/descriptive writing - collecting the exotic I arrived expecting the expected. A 16th century house lay in front of me, expansive, dated but beautiful to say the least. From former research i'd gathered the Wallace collection was a museum which dated back to the early 1900’s introduced by Sir Richard Wallace’s widow, who opened up the house to the public on her husband’s command before his death. The collection dates back to the early 1800’s, from which Richard Seymor , Richard Wallaces father collected and hid fine art and decorative art dating back to the 15th century, including paintings from masters such as Rembrant and Boucher and religious relics made by unknown Flemish monks. I can see your eyes glazing over yes…I saw this expression on many a childs face, as they were being marched around by their burberry clad parents, unaware that no this is not an auction house but in fact a museum. On the outset yes, a certain type of audience could argue that this museum is mundane, stale and out of touch with our interactive world run by touch pads and sensors, but I beg to differ. Gold, gold everywhere. Gold frames, gold walls, gold clocks, gold spoons. This was the house of an aristocrat who liked, in our tongue ‘bling’-the 19th century 50 Cent or a straight Liberace. The shear wealth and beauty of this place is astounding, holding far less eastern treasures but plenty of European ones. The house is a circuit of various artefacts, a maze of high ceilings and brightly coloured walls, each room with a unique character, a unique history.-personally I felt like I was in a 19thcentury Ikea but far less flat pack-more carve it yourself. Upon entering the back state room, I was invited by a flourish of red crimson bouncing from mirror to mirror. The warm colours felt inviting, so I grabbed a tatty gallery book and I sat and began to read. Bad idea. This book was not written for the eyes of young dizzy art student, who loves nothing more than a good cuppa and foxes biscuit. This was a guide for the avid potter, a French 17th century Rocco enthusiast avid potter. I doubt even Grayson himself could decipher the code typed in times new roman. Leaving behind the splendour of the vessels packed with remnants reflecting the Marie Antoinette era. The collection in my eyes varied. I took delight in glancing at plates painted with fat fore headed googly eyed baby Jesus’s but also in wonder at Various intricate carvings including a miniature tabernacle hand crafted in the early 15th century, which no 3D printer could ever recreate-it was a prehistoric Polly Pocket. The Armouries were less exciting. Due to the building work on the Great Gallery upstairs the room was a little distressed. If you’re an enthusiast when it comes to equestrian and European armour and weapons used in mass killings, this is your turf. If not, there are still some exquisite pieces for any design student to gawp at, notably a helmet in the shape of a griffins head which I can imagine many artists have been inspired by. Upon entering the first floor I was a little drawn back. The Golden frames screamed against the deep Purple of the walls, the 19th century gallery was attention grabbing-the Katie price amongst the House of Lords, but never the less there was a presence that took you in, the light cascaded down from the windows, the ceilings were high and the passage long. The walls where littered with images of beautiful woman-Francessca Da Rimini-basically this was Richard Seymors titillating room-the 19th century top shelf of the corner shop with a few paintings of Venice thrown in to make the space seem not quite perverse. Within the middle section of the first floor there is a mass of boudoir style rooms, inspired and decked out with-the obvious- 17th-18th century French furniture. The boudoir, situated next to the landing holds the largest collection of Marie Antoinette’s furniture in the whole world-hopefully the second largest collection is housed in the palace of Versailles where it belongs. The clamour and clutter of the other rooms seem to had eased off, within the last room you are left with a sense of releif almost, matched with the baby blue walls which on paintings float. This room is not boastful, it is not gaudy, it is a place of respect and a place where historic items can be respected. The perfect place to hang masterpieces by Rembrant and Berchem to be truly appreciated without being outdone by the opulence of the Rocco interiors presented throughout. Set aside the boastfulness and dizziness of the Wallace collection, you are left with a raw identity which has been untouched by the media driven smart phone synced world. This museum is a time capsule where you can relish in European history and culture, and be amazed by the skill and craftsmanship put into so many of the exhibits collection. The Wallace collection is a treasure chest frozen in time.

@gilespshorter: North Road House A Grade II* Listed Building in Hertford, Hertfordshire. Villa. 1827-28, altered mid C19, and repaired 1915-16 after bomb damage. Architect Thomas Smith, for his own residence. Greek Revival style. HISTORICAL NOTE: Thomas Smith (1799-1875) practised in Hertford from the 1820s, and was also County Surveyor for Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Among his Hertford buildings is the County Hospital, North Road (qv). In the early C20, North Road House (formerly Paynters) was the home of Annie Swan, c1908-1935, social activist, who moved from Hampstead to Hertford with her husband, a doctor. During the first quarter of the century she was a prolific and popular author. In her autobiography (My Life, London, 1924, Ivor Nicholson) she left a vivid account of the bomb damage to the house in a Zeppelin raid on 13 October 1915, in which the east wing was demolished, the front door was blown out, and the dining room was stripped to lath and plaster (vide Chapter 14 and 15). Point if interest- Late C19 red granite fireplace with bolection mouldings installed mid 1950s reputedly from the sale preceding the demolition of Panshanger House, outside Hertford, in 1954. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Hertfordshire: Harmondsworth: 1977-: 193; Felstead A: Directory of British Architects 1834-1900: London: 1993-; Swan, Annie: My Life: London: 1924-; Colvin H: A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600-1840: London: 1978-). #hertford #hertfordshire #hertfordhouse #georgian #listedbuilding #listed (at Hertford, Hertfordshire)
