Chatsworth, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Devonshire, will be celebrating Flowers in this year's temporary exhibition which opened over the weekend. As usual, this is a wonderful chance to see some paintings up close which are usually hung elsewhere (as per these pictures on display in the Sculpture Gallery).
According to their website:
Flowers in all their forms take centre stage in The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth, our 2025 exhibition in the house and garden.
The exhibition features both historical and contemporary works of art from the Devonshire Collections, and is supported by key loans from national and international museums, and new artist commissions.
Inspired by the estate itself, The Gorgeous Nothings builds on the work of an important lineage of landscape designers, gardeners, scientists and botanists who, over the last six centuries have planted, gathered, foraged, researched, collected and preserved an array of botanical treasures at Chatsworth, from rare botanical volumes and illustrated manuscripts in our library to coveted specimens in our garden and grounds.
The display will run until 5th October 2025.
