Wilton House

Wilton (Wiltshire)

Wilton House es una casa de campo inglesa situada en Wilton, cerca de Salisbury en el condado de Wiltshire. Ha sido la casa de campo de los condes de Pembroke durante 400 años. El primer edificio del que se tiene constancia en este lugar es de un monasterio fundado por el rey Egberto alrededor de 871. Posteriormente a este monasterio, gracias al rey Alfredo el Grande, se le entregaron tierras y posesiones hasta que se convirtió en una poderosa y rica abadía. Sin embargo, para cuando la Abadía de Wilton fue disuelta durante la Disolución de los monasterios llevada a cabo por el rey Enrique VIII de Inglaterra, su prosperidad ya había decaído – tras la incautación de la abadía Enrique VIII se la dio junto a sus terrenos a William Herbert, primer conde de Pembroke en 1544. La mansión cuenta con una fabulosa colección de pintura antigua: Rembrandt , Van Dyck , Luca Giordano , Cavalier d'Arpino , Rubens, Andrea del Sarto, Peter Lely, David Teniers el Joven, Joshua Reynolds... También alberga valiosos muebles de Thomas Chippendale. El Díptico Wilton, la famosa pintura medieval actualmente en la National Gallery de Londres, debe su nombre a este palacio, donde se conservó hasta su venta en 1929.
