Arcadia where is it now

A stunningly original portrait of one of England's grandest country houses No house embodies the spirit of one dynasty better than Chatsworth. Set in an unspoilt Derbyshire valley, surrounded by wild moorland, and home to the Cavendish family for sixteen generations, this treasure house is filled with works of art and objects - from Nicolas Poussin's The Arcadian Shepherds and Antonio Canova's Endymion to great contemporary paintings by Lucian Freud and David Hockney - which have all, in their time, represented the very best of the new.

Inside, through the inspired juxtaposition of old and modern, its rooms fizz with creative energy. Chatsworth, Arcadia, Now tells the story of this extraordinary place through seven scenes from its life, alongside a stunning photographic portrait of the house and its collections, captured at a moment of high optimism in its long history.

With a foreword by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. This glamorous, artistic book is a fitting tribute to a decade of renovation One could say that the book is a collection piece in its own right Breathtaking still-life studies underline the connections and contrasts between old and new The sense of a great house with a vibrant past, present and a future is palpable.

Anyone who cannot visit in person can now luxuriate in this astonishing book, with its brilliant photographs fabulously staged and daringly laid out Short essays by John-Paul Stonard provide context, but this is really a book of images as glorious as the house itself.
