Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington and 4th Earl of Cork (April 25, 1694 – December 15, 1753), born in Yorkshire, England was a descendant of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork.

 Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington
Note the Palladian window Burlington never closely inspected Roman ruins or made detailed drawings on the sites; he relied on Palladio and Scamozzi as his interpreters of the classic tradition.
Burlington's first project, appropriately, was his own London residence, Burlington House, where he dismissed his baroque architect James Gibbs when he returned from the Comtinent in 1719 and employed the Scottish architect Colen Campbell, with the history-painter-turned-designer William Kent for the interiors.
In the 1720s Burlington and Campbell parted, and Burlington was assisted in his projects by the young Henry Flitcroft, "Burlington Harry"— who developed into a major architect of the second neopalladian generation— and Daniel Garrett— a straightforward palladian architect of the second rank— and somec draughtsmen.

In 1716, Richard Boyle, 3rd earl of Burlington, who also admired the works of Palladio, copied some of them, the front of old Burlington House being more or less a reproduction of the Palazzo Porto at Vicenza, and the villa at Chiswick a copy of the Villa Capua near Vicenza.
It is probably due to Lord Burlington that the title Palladian is the designation for the Italian style as practised in England.
In 1862 Sir Gilbert Scott's Gothic design for the new government offices was rejected and Lord Palmerston selected in preference the Palladian style.

Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington (1695-1753), was one of England's "Earls of Creation" and the supreme arbiter of the arts in early 18th century Britain.
Burlington was an enthusiastic promoter of the Italian Renaissance architect Palladio and put Palladio's principles to work in the design of Chiswick House, which Burlington designed between 1725 and 1729 as an adjunct to an earlier house of circa 1717, which stood to the southeast of today's villa.
Around 1732-33 these two buildings were joined by a 2-story link; in 1788 the older building was demolished by the 4th Duke of Devonshire, who also added wings to both sides of the current house; these wings were demolished 1956-57.
