PROVENANCE: From the private collection of JOHN KENWORTHY- BROWNE
John Kenworthy-Browne is an art historian specialising in architecture and sculpture, principally from the neoclassical period. He was educated at Ampleforth College and Wadham College, Oxford, followed by the Courtauld Institute in London. John was the first National Trust curator at Dyrham Park, Gloucestershire, which he opened to the public in 1961. The Queen Mother visited Dyrham on 16th March 1962, and she was pictured with him outside the Assembly Rooms during the visit. After his time at Dyrham, John joined Christies where he catalogued furniture, and it was at Christies that he first became fascinated with sculpture.
John has published numerous articles in Apollo, Burlington Magazine, The British Art Journal, Sculpture Journal and Country Life. He wrote the sculpture entries for The Age of Neo-Classicism Exhibition in 1972. He also published Chippendale and his Contemporaries (1975), and he was the co-author of Three Centuries of Furniture (1972) and The Country House Guide (1979).
