Balthasar Nebot - Gardens of Hartwell House, Aylesbury - 2 / 8
One of a series of eight paintings by Balthasar Nebot (active 1729-1765) showing the spectacular garden landscape of Hartwell House, just outside Aylesbury, in 1738. Topiary has been used to great effect in order to create dramatic architectural forms. The central avenue leads up to the column with the William III statue, the right-hand one reveals a bust of John Hampden, and the left-hand leads to the menagerie. To the left can be seen part of the front of the house with an angel above the window. The formal green architecture of topiary hedges, with classical stone temples and statues of gods and goddesses, was balanced by informal views towards the town. Sir Thomas Lee (1687-1749) of Hartwell commissioned the painting from Nebot, a little-known Spanish painter, based in Covent Garden. They provide a unique record of a country estate and garden landscape at this time. The people of Hartwell family, visitors, household and estate staff and, especially the gardeners are also portrayed in great detail.

Balthasar Nebot's Gardens of Hartwell House, Aylesbury - 2 / 8: A Visual Feast of 18th-Century Topiary and Grandeur This exquisite painting by Balthasar Nebot (1729-1765) offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of Hartwell House's gardens in 1738. The serene landscape, just outside Aylesbury, is adorned with meticulously crafted topiary, creating architectural forms that add drama and allure. The central avenue leads to a column graced by the statue of William III, while the right-hand avenue reveals a bust of John Hampden. The left-hand avenue beckons towards the menagerie, inviting exploration. The formal green architecture of the topiary hedges is harmoniously balanced by the informal views towards the town. Sir Thomas Lee (1687-1749), the estate's owner, commissioned this series of eight paintings from the little-known Spanish painter, Nebot, who was based in Covent Garden. These masterpieces offer a unique record of a country estate and garden landscape during this period. The painting meticulously captures the people of Hartwell, including family members, visitors, household staff, and gardeners. Their presence adds a touch of human warmth to the grandeur, making this painting not only a visual feast of topiary and architectural grandeur but also a testament to the lives and activities of the people who inhabited this magnificent estate.
