William Kent: Artist, Architect and Garden Designer by Caroline Knight
William Kent trained as an artist before spending ten years in Italy, where he studied painting, classical buildings and Italian gardens. As well as painting ceilings for Chiswick House and Kensington Palace, he worked as an architect, garden designer and interior decorator, and designed some impressive pieces of furniture. His gardens at Rousham (Oxfordshire) and Stowe (Buckinghamshire) are the finest surviving examples of the new landscape garden.?
