Matthew Brettingham là gì
Matthew Brettingham
his son [[File:Kedleston Hall 02.jpg|thumb|right|300px|alt=Kedleston Hall north front by architect Matthew Brettingham|[[Kedleston Hall]] was Brettingham’s opportunity to prove himself capable of designing a house to rival great houses like [[Holkham Hall]] and [[Chatsworth House]]. The chance was snatched from him by [[Robert Adam]], who completed the North front (above) much as Brettingham designed it but with a more dramatic [[portico]].]] ”’Matthew Brettingham”’ (1699 – 19 August 1769), sometimes called ”’Matthew Brettingham the Elder”’, was an 18th-century [[England|Englishman]] who rose from humble origins to supervise the construction of [[Holkham Hall]], and become one of the country’s best-known [[architect]]s of his generation. Much of his principal work has since been demolished, particularly his work in London, where he revolutionised the design of the grand [[townhouse]]. As a result, he is often overlooked today, remembered principally for his [[Palladian]] remodelling of numerous country houses, many of them situated in the [[East Anglia]] area of [[Great Britain|Britain]]. As Brettingham neared the pinnacle of his career, Palladianism began to fall out of fashion and [[neoclassicism]] was introduced, championed by the young [[Robert Adam]]. ==Early life== Brettingham was born in 1699, the second son of Launcelot Brettingham (1664–1727), a [[bricklayer]] or stonemason from [[Norwich]], the [[county town]] of [[Norfolk]], England. He married Martha Bunn (c. 1697–1783) at [[St. Augustine’s Church, Norwich]], on 17 May 1721 and they had nine children together.Lucas His early life is little documented, and one of the earliest recorded references to him is in 1719, when he and his elder brother Robert were admitted to the city of Norwich as [[wikt:freeman|freemen]] bricklayers. A critic of Brettingham’s at this time claimed that his work was so poor that it was not worth the nine [[shilling]]s a week (£formatnum:1719 in CURRENTYEAR) he was paid as a [[artisan|craftsman]] bricklayer.Howell James, p.345 Whatever the quality of his bricklaying, he soon advanced himself and became a building [[independent contractor|contractor]]. ==Local contractor== [[Image:Norwich Castle keep, 2009.jpg|270px|thumb|left|alt=Norwich Castle, repaired by Brettingham|Brettingham repaired Norwich Castle.]] During the early eighteenth century, a building contractor had far more responsibilities than the title suggests today. A contractor often designed, built, and oversaw all details of construction to completion. Architects, often called [[Surveyor (surveying)|surveyors]], were employed only for the grandest and largest of buildings. By 1730, Brettingham is referred to as a surveyor, working on more important structures than [[cottage]]s and agricultural buildings. In 1731, it is recorded that he was paid £112 (£formatnum:1731 in CURRENTYEAR) for his work on Norwich Gaol.Howell James, p.346 From then, he appears to have worked regularly as the surveyor to the Justices (the contemporary local authority) on public buildings and [[bridge]]s throughout the 1740s. Projects of his dating from this time include the remodelling of the Shirehouse in Norwich, the construction of [[Lenwade]] Bridge over the [[river Wensum]], repairs to [[Norwich Castle]] and [[Norwich Cathedral]], as well as the rebuilding of much of [[King’s Lynn Minster|St. Margaret’s Church, King’s Lynn]], which had been severely damaged by the collapse of its spire in 1742. His work on the Shirehouse, which was in the [[Gothic architecture|gothic]] style and showed a versatility of design rare for Brettingham, was to result in a protracted court case that was to rumble on through a large part of his life, with allegations of financial discrepancies.Howell James, p.348 onwards In 1755, the case was eventually closed, and Brettingham was left several hundred [[Pound Sterling|pounds]] out of pocket—several tens of thousands, in present-day terms—and with a stain—if only a local one—on his character. Transcripts of the case suggest that it was Brettingham’s brother Robert, to whom he had subcontracted and who was responsible for the flint stonework of the Shirehouse, who may have been the cause of the allegations.Howell James, p.349 and Colvin, p.155 Brettingham’s brief flirtation with the Gothic style, in the words of Robin Lucas, indicates “the approach of an engineer rather than an antiquary” and is “now seen as outlandish”. The Shirehouse was demolished in 1822.Colvin, p.157 ==Architect== [[File:Holkham Hall South.jpg|thumb|left|270px|alt=Holkham Hall, by architect Matthew Brettingham portico with two square flanking wings|[[Holkham Hall]]. Matthew Brettingham’s first notable employment was here as [[Clerk of the Works]] and executive architect in 1734.]] In 1734, Brettingham had his first great opportunity, when two of the foremost Palladian architects of the day, [[William Kent]] and [[Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington|Lord Burlington]], were collaboratively designing a grandiose Palladian country [[palace]] at [[Holkham]] in Norfolk for [[Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester (fifth creation)|Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester]]. Brettingham was appointed [[Clerk of Works]] (sometimes referred to as executive architect),Nicolson, p.247 at an annual salary of £50 (£formatnum:inflation per year in CURRENTYEAR). He retained the position until the Earl’s death in 1759. The illustrious architects were mostly absent; indeed Burlington was more of an [[idealist]] than an architect, thus Brettingham and the patron Lord Leicester were left to work on the project together, with the practical Brettingham interpreting the architects’ plans to Leicester’s requirements. It was at Holkham that Brettingham first worked with the fashionable Palladian style, which was to be his trademark. Holkham was to be Brettingham’s springboard to fame, as it was through his association with it that he came to the attention of other local [[patron]]s, and further work at Heydon and [[Honingham Hall]] established Brettingham as a local country-house architect.Colvin, pp.154 and 156 Brettingham was commissioned in 1742 to redesign [[Langley Hall]], a [[mansion]] standing in its own [[park]]land in South Norfolk. His design was very much in the Palladian style of Holkham, though much smaller: a large principal central block linked to two flanking secondary wings by short corridors. The corner [[tower]]s, while similar to those later designed by Brettingham at [[Euston Hall]], were the work of a later owner and architect. The [[neoclassicism|neoclassical]] entrance lodges were a later addition, by Sir [[John Soane]]. In 1743, Brettingham began work on the construction of [[Hanworth Hall]], Norfolk, also in the Palladian style, with a five-bay [[facade]] of [[brick]] with the centre three bays projected with a [[pediment]]. In 1745, Brettingham designed [[Gunton Hall]] in Norfolk for Sir [[Baron Suffield|William Harbord]], three years after the former house on the site was gutted by fire. The new house of brick had a principal facade like that of Hanworth Hall, however, this larger house was seven bays deep, and had a large service wing on its western side. His commissions began to come from further afield: [[Goodwood House|Goodwood]] in Sussex and Marble Hill, [[Twickenham]].Colvin, p.156 [[Image:Gunton Park. Print 1819. by JP Neale..jpg|thumb|left|270px|alt=Gunton Hall, designed by Matthew Brettingham country house across a pond|Gunton Hall, designed by Matthew Brettingham.]] In 1750, now well-known, the architect received an important commission to remodel [[Euston Hall]] in East Anglia, the Suffolk country seat of the influential [[Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Grafton|2nd Duke of Grafton]]. The original house, built circa 1666 in the [[France|French]] style, was built around a central [[courtyard|court]] with large [[pavilions]] at each corner. While keeping the original layout, Brettingham formalised the [[window|fenestration]] and imposed a more classically severe order whereby the pavilions were transformed to towers in the Palladian fashion (similar to those of [[Inigo Jones]]’s at [[Wilton House]]). The pavilions’ [[dome]]s were replaced by low [[pyramid]] roofs similar to those at Holkham. Brettingham also created the large service courtyard at Euston that now acts as the entrance court to the mansion, which today is only a fraction of its former size.Euston Hall [http://www.eustonhall.co.uk/new/index.php?page=houseandgrounds The History of Euston Hall] url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202040800/http://www.eustonhall.co.uk/New/index.php?page=houseandgrounds . Retrieved on 7 March 2008. The Euston commission seems to have brought Brettingham firmly to the notice of other wealthy patrons. In 1751, he began work for the [[Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont|Earl of Egremont]] at [[Petworth House]], Sussex. He continued work intermittently at Petworth for the next twelve years, including designing a new picture gallery from 1754. Over the same period his country-house work included alterations at [[Moor Park, Hertfordshire]]; [[Wortley Hall]], Yorkshire; Wakefield Lodge, Northamptonshire; and Benacre House, Suffolk. ==London townhouses== [[Image:J Bowles’s view of St James’s Square.jpg|thumb|270px|alt=St. James’s Square in the 1750s: Brettingham designed Norfolk House on the far right.|St. James’s Square in the 1750s: Brettingham designed [[Norfolk House]] on the far right.]] From 1747, Brettingham operated from [[London]] as well as Norwich. This period marks a turning point in his career, as he was now no longer designing country houses and farm buildings just for the local aristocrats and the Norfolk [[gentry]], but for the greater aristocracy based in London.Howell James, p.350 One of Brettingham’s greatest solo commissions came when he was asked to design a town house for the [[Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk|9th Duke of Norfolk]] in [[St. James’s Square]], London.Girouard, p.196 Completed in 1756, the exterior of this mansion was similar to those of many of the great ”palazzi” in Italian cities: bland and featureless, the [[piano nobile]] distinguishable only by its tall pedimented windows. This arrangement, devoid of [[pilaster]]s and a pediment giving prominence to the central bays at roof height, was initially too severe for the English taste, even by the fashionable Palladian standards of the day. Early critics declared the design “insipid”.Girouard, p.197 [[Image:York (Cumberland) House Pall Mall.jpg|thumb|left|150px|alt=Plan of the ground and first floors of York House|Plan of the ground and first floors of York House. Illustrating a circuit of rooms rather than an enfilade.]] However, the interior design of [[Norfolk House]] was to define the London town house for the next century. The floor plan was based on an adaptation of one of the secondary wings he had built at [[Holkham Hall]].Girouard, p.195 A circuit of reception rooms centred on a grand staircase, with the staircase hall replacing the Italian traditional inner courtyard or two-storey hall. This arrangement of salons allowed guests at large parties to circulate, having been received at the head of the staircase, without doubling back on arriving guests. The second advantage was that while each room had access to the next, it also had access to the central stairs, thus allowing only one or two rooms to be used at a time for smaller functions. Previously, guests in London houses had had to reach the principal salon through a long enfilade of minor reception rooms. In this square and compact way, Brettingham came close to recreating the layout of an original Palladian Villa. He transformed what [[Andrea Palladio]] had conceived as a country retreat into a London mansion appropriate for the lifestyle of the British aristocracy, with its reversal of the usual Italian domestic pattern of a large ”palazzo” in town, and a smaller villa in the country. As happened so often in Brettingham’s career, Robert Adam later developed this design concept further, and was credited with its success. However, Brettingham’s plan for Norfolk House was to serve as the [[prototype]] for many London mansions over the next few decades. Brettingham’s additional work in London included two more houses in St. James’s Square: No. 5 for the [[William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford (1722-1791)|2nd Earl of Strafford]] and No. 13 for the [[Henry Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth|1st Lord Ravensworth]].Sheppard, pp.99–103 and 136–139 Lord Egremont, for whom Brettingham was working in the country at Petworth, gave Brettingham another opportunity to design a grandiose London mansion—the Egremont family’s town house. Begun in 1759, this Palladian palace, known at the time as Egremont House, or more modestly as 94 Piccadilly, is one of the few great London town houses still standing. It later came to be known as [[Cambridge House]] and was the home of [[Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston|Lord Palmerston]], and then of the [[Naval & Military Club]]; as of October 2007, it is in the process of conversion into a luxury hotel.City of Westminster (25 October 2007) [http://www3.westminster.gov.uk/csu/Planning_Applications_Sub-Committee/Minutes_2007/33-%20Minutes%2025%20October%202007.doc Minutes of Planning Applications Sub-Committee 3] url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410025635/http://www3.westminster.gov.uk/csu/Planning_Applications_Sub-Committee/Minutes_2007/33-%20Minutes%2025%20October%202007.doc . Retrieved on 10 March 2008. clear ==Kedleston Hall== [[Image:North Front of Kedleston Hall.png|600px|thumb|center|alt=The North Front of Kedleston Hall main house with two flanking houses|The North Front of Kedleston Hall “has been described as ‘the grandest Palladian façade in Britain, and with few rivals anywhere in the world'”.The National Trust, p.10]] [[Viscount Scarsdale#Barons Scarsdale (1761)|Sir Nathaniel Curzon, later 1st Baron Scarsdale]], commissioned Brettingham in 1759 to design a great country house. Thirty years before a prospective design for a new Kedleston Hall had been drawn up by [[James Gibbs]], one of the leading architects of the day,The National Trust, p.7 but Curzon wanted his new house to match the style and taste of Holkham. Lord Leicester, Holkham’s owner and Brettingham’s employer, was a particular hero of Curzon’s.Jackson-Stops, p.94 Curzon was a [[Tory]] from a very old Derbyshire family, and he wished to create a showpiece to rival the nearby [[Chatsworth House]] owned by the [[British Whig Party|Whig]] [[Duke of Devonshire]], whose family were relative newcomers in the county, having arrived little more than two hundred years earlier.Jackson-Stops, p.92 However, the Duke of Devonshire’s influence, wealth, and title were far superior to Curzon’s, and Curzon was unable to complete his house or to match the Devonshires’ influence ([[William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire]], had been Prime Minister in the 1750s). This commission might have been the ultimate accolade Brettingham was seeking, to recreate Holkham but this time with full credit. [[Kedleston Hall]] was designed by Brettingham on a plan by Palladio for the unbuilt Villa Mocenigo. The design by Brettingham, similar to that of Holkham Hall, was for a massive principal central block flanked by four secondary wings, each a miniature [[country house]], themselves linked by [[Quadrant (architecture)|quadrant]] corridors.Harling, p.126 From the outset of the project, Curzon seems to have presented Brettingham with rivals. In 1759, while Brettingham was still supervising the construction of the initial phase, the northeast family block, Curzon employed architect [[James Paine (architect)|James Paine]], the most notable architect of the day, to supervise the kitchen block and quadrants.Jackson-Stops, p.95 Paine also went on to supervise the construction of Brettingham’s great north front. However, this was a critical moment for architecture in England. Palladianism was being challenged by a new taste for neoclassical designs, one exponent of which was [[Robert Adam]]. Curzon had met Adam as early as 1758, and had been impressed by the young architect newly returned from Rome. He employed Adam to design some garden [[pavilions]] for the new Kedleston.The National Trust, p.9 So impressed was Curzon by Adam’s work that by April 1760 he had put Adam in sole charge of the design of the new mansion, replacing both Brettingham and Paine. Adam completed the north facade of the mansion much as Brettingham had designed it, only altering Brettingham’s intended portico. The basic layout of the house remained loyal to Brettingham’s original plan, although only two of the proposed four secondary wings were executed. Brettingham moved on to other projects. In the 1760s, he was approached by his most illustrious patron, the [[Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany|Duke of York]] (brother of [[George III of the United Kingdom|King George III]]), to design one of the greatest mansions in [[Pall Mall, London|Pall Mall]], namely [[York House, Pall Mall|York House]]. The rectangular mansion that Brettingham designed was built in the Palladian style on two principal floors, with the [[state room]]s as at Norfolk House, arranged in a circuit around the central staircase hall. The house was a mere [[pastiche]] of Norfolk House, but for Brettingham it had the kudos of a royal occupant. ==Legacy== [[Image:Plan of Holkham Hall.png|thumb|alt=Brettingham published the plans of Holkham Hall in 1761|In 1761, Brettingham published the plans of Holkham Hall, signing each plate in the lower left corner “Matthew Brettingham, Architect”.]] Its royal occupant may very well have made York House the pinnacle of Brettingham’s career. Built during the 1760s, it was one of his last grand houses. His last country-house commission was at [[Packington Hall]], Warwickshire. In 1761, he published his plans of Holkham Hall, calling himself the architect, which led critics, including [[Horace Walpole]], to decry him as a purloiner of Kent’s designs.Wilson, pp.175–176 Brettingham died in 1769 at his house outside St. Augustine’s Gate, Norwich, and was buried in the aisle of the parish church. Throughout his long career, Brettingham did much to popularise the Palladian movement.Centre for Urban History, School of Historical Studies, University of Leicester (25 June 2007) [http://www.le.ac.uk/urbanhist/resources/smalltowns/appendices.html Architecture: The Classical Style] date=2007-10-10 . Retrieved on 7 March 2008. His clients included a Royal Duke and at least twenty-one assorted [[peerage|peers]] and peeresses. He is not a household name today largely because his provincial work was heavily influenced by Kent and Burlington, and unlike his contemporary [[Giacomo Leoni]] he did not develop, or was not given the opportunity to develop, a strong personal stamp to his work on country houses. Ultimately, he and many of his contemporary architects were eclipsed by the designs of Robert Adam. Adam remodelled Brettingham’s York House in 1780 and, in addition to Kedleston Hall, went on to replace [[James Paine (architect)|James Paine]] as architect at [[Nostell Priory]], [[Alnwick Castle]], and [[Syon House]]. In spite of this, Adam and Paine remained great friends; Brettingham’s relationships with his fellow architects are unrecorded. Brettingham’s principal contribution to architecture is perhaps the design of the grand town house, unremarkable for its exterior but with a circulating plan for reception rooms suitable for entertaining within on a forgotten scale of lavishness. Many of these anachronistic palaces are now long demolishedYork House was demolished between 1908 and 1912; Norfolk House was demolished in 1938. Source: Colvin, pp.156–157 or have been transformed for other uses and are inaccessible for public viewing. Hence, what little remains in London of his work is unknown to the general public. Of Brettingham’s work, only the buildings he remodelled have survived, and for this reason Brettingham now tends to be thought of as an “improver” rather than an architect of country houses. There is no evidence that Brettingham ever formally studied architecture or travelled abroad. Reports of him making two trips to Continental Europe,Burnett are the result of confusion with his son, Matthew Brettingham the Younger. That he enjoyed success in his own lifetime is beyond doubt—Robert Adam calculated that when Brettingham sent his son, Matthew, on the [[Grand Tour]] (1747), he went with a sum of money in his pocket of around £15,000 (£formatprice in CURRENTYEAR), an enormous amount at the time. However, part of this sum was probably used to acquire the statuary in Italy (documented as supplied by Matthew Brettingham the Younger) for the nearly completed Holkham Hall. Matthew Brettingham the Younger wrote that his father “considered the building of Holkham as the great work of his life”.Colvin, p.154 While the design of that great monumental house, which still stands, cannot truly be accredited to him, it is the building for which Brettingham is best remembered. ==Notes== Reflist ==References== *wstitle=Brettingham, Matthew *[[Howard Colvin|Colvin, Howard]] (1995). ”A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600–1840”.
