|  Chiswick house is a villa near London. It was built in 1725 from Richard Boyle, the Earl of Burlington. Its austere neoclassical lines and proportions recall Palladio’s Villa Rotonda in Vicenza. It represents the new idea of the Age of Reason, the so called “Enlightenment”. It represents the feelings of that time: the man who controls and dominates nature, the man who is becoming a ruler, a sort of God and the man who is in the centre. It’s a great dream and the Romanticism is the destruction of this dream. It recalls classical art for its perfection and its classical proportions. It has regularity(order), modularity(repetition of the same structure), symmetry, simplicity, harmony and equilibrium. It is a product of Calvinism(simplicity, work). In 1750 people ask for money(poverty), there is the war of American succession and the Independence(in 1776) and Thames is polluted and its water was poisonous.
