In this series we pay tribute to the art we wish could visit — and hope to see once travel restrictions are lifted.
If you are a country house fanatic like me, and you’ve been lucky enough to spend time travelling around Britain to seek them out, you might have visited some of the greats: Petworth, Blenheim, Chatsworth.
But have you heard of Boughton House, the “English Versailles”?
As an art historian born in England who works on the art and culture of Louis XIV’s France, I’m a little embarrassed to admit I only learnt about Boughton very recently.
