Ante Library ceiling

In the Elizabethan structure of the House most of the decoration is late Victorian, c.1870s. The 4th Marquess had been Ambassador Extraordinary to Venice and fell in love with the art and architecture of Italy. When he returned home he employed a renowned designer John Dibblee Crace to 'Italianise' Longleat House. He also shipped over many paintings and had them adapted to fit the ceilings. This one the Three Fates. The artist unknown.
