"I have studied and visited many Palladian buildings and produced over 15 paintings based on these investigations. Burlington has been a long-term fascination and and when the Fine Rooms at the RA were reopened around 2005 I was given access and permission to photograph the space. I spent many hours looking and working on studies for a possible painting, and this print is almost the final image for one. I put the missing mirrors back in the frames and extended the enfilade to include two extra rooms. Although very happy with this new view I never, as yet, made the painting. But Burlington, his work and his collaborations with other architects still fascinate me."
