The female influence on George IV's taste and collecting habits
chapter
posted on 2023-06-09, 20:01 authored by Alexandra LoskeIn his biography of George, Steven Parissien states that his ‘love for art was another characteristic undoubtedly inherited from his father and, more particularly, from his grandfather’ [Frederick, Prince of Wales]. As a collector and patron of the arts, George is also often compared to Charles I. While these male influences are important and indisputable, he was also exposed to a strong female presence in his immediate family and among his ancestors. These women proved formative on the young prince’s developing tastes. This is nowhere more evident than in George’s embracing of the chinoiserie style in architecture and interior decoration, which found its most extreme and joyful expression in the creation of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
