Abstract
Art & the Country House, launched in autumn 2020, is an online publication edited by Martin Postle, Deputy Director for Grants and Publications at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. Published in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of the Paul Mellon Centre, Art & the Country House underlines the Centre’s long-term commitment to country house studies. Focused specifically on the collection and display of works of art in the country house in Britain from the sixteenth century to the present day, it contains eight case studies: Castle Howard, Doddington Hall, Mells Manor, Mount Stuart, Petworth House, Raynham Hall, Trewithen and West Wycombe. Each house has been carefully selected so as to ensure a broad range of research topics and to provide an appropriately varied set of examples, in terms of geographical location, scale, patterns of ownership, chronologies, collections and displays.
