Chiswick House is a neo-Palladian villa located in West London built in 1729. It was designed by architects Richard Boyle, Francis Fowke, and William Kent for Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington. The structure of the house is highly symmetrical and proportioned, with a central domed octagonal space called the Tribunal that has large classical paintings on each of its eight faces. The interior decorations and furnishings throughout the house are also based on classical themes, especially nautical motifs like shells, fish scales, and statues of Venus and sea gods.
