About this product

Product Information

This is a comprehensive new companion guide to Leighton House Museum, one of the most remarkable houses of the nineteenth century. Leighton House was built entirely to the specifications of the eminent Victorian artist Frederic Leighton, as one of the first purpose-built artist's studio-houses in Britain. From relatively modest beginnings the house was repeatedly extended, embellished and enriched by a fascinating collection of fine and decorative art. By the time of Leighton's death in 1896, his house had become a unique 'Private Palace of Art' - though it still had only one bedroom. This companion guide tells the story of the development of the house and Leighton's life there. It includes detailed room-by-room descriptions of the interiors, and a narrative of the changes in fortune that followed its conversion to a museum. An account of the extensive collection of Leighton's work now held at the museum completes this comprehensive study of an extraordinary house.
