	Eltham Palace
		Stephen Courtauld was born in 1883, the youngest of six children.
		Stephen was a trustee of Covent Garden Opera House, made an important donation towards the construction of the Courtauld Galleries in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and, in 1926, built the London ice Club as the country's first post-war ice-skating rink.
		The styles were a reflection of the Courtaulds' and their artistic advisers, the painters Winifred Knights and her husband Tom Monnington, the Swedish interior designer Rolf Engströmer (1892-1970) and the Italian decorator Peter Malacrida (1889-1980).

		Since Stephen Courtauld was an art collector and a great benefactor of the nation (as were many of the Courtauld family), this was a very appropriate comparison.

		Stephen was a quiet, studious man and in fact a dedicated philanthropist, who over his lifetime, gathered around him a world-famous collection of Turner paintings, jewels, antiques and rare plants.
		Stephen and Virginia had no children but together with a much-loved lemur, the most primitive of primates, spent most of their days travelling the world in their steamship Virginia or yacht Eunamara.
		After Sir Stephen's death in 1967, Lady Courtauld faithfully carried on their joint dreams and plans for La Rochelle and Zimbabwe in his memory and before her death in 1972 she bequeathed the entire estate to her "family" as she called the people of this country, the country that they both loved so much.

		The Courtauld Institute of Art is renowned as one of the world's principal centres for the study of the history of art and conservation.
		The particular attraction of the Courtauld Gallery lies in the marriage of a widely known collection, including popular works by Manet, Gauguin, Cézanne and van Gogh, with its magnificent setting in the Fine Rooms of Somerset House, masterpiece of the great eighteenth century architect William Chambers.
		Samuel Courtauld's French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist pictures, and the Princes Gate Collection bequeathed by Count Antoine Seilern, which includes paintings by Rubens and Tiepolo, as well as superb old Master drawings, are the best known collections.

		While Courtauld's original collection was primarily 19th and early 20th Century masters, the gallery has benefitted from several signficant bequests of Old Masters and the entire collection now ranks as one of the greatest small museums in the world.
		How the Courtauld came to be both a world-renowned gallery and an institution for the teaching of art history is a wonderful and fascinating story; the teaching school was the brainchild of Arthur Lee, Viscount Lee of Farnham (1868-1947) – soldier, diplomat, politician and administrator serving in Canada and the USA.
		The Courtauld Gallery Guidebook offers insights into the many generous and impressive characters who bequeathed their collections, time and talents to the Courtauld, creating in the process one of the finest teaching institutions for the rising generations of critics, scholars and museum curators.

		Somewhat incredibly, in the 1930s, the millionaire Stephen Courtauld (of art-collecting fame) got permission to build his own "Wrenaissance" style house onto the Great Hall, and convert the moat into landscaped gardens.

		The house was designed by the duo Seely and Paget, furnished by the best Swedish and Italian designers, and kitted out with all the latest mod cons, including underfloor heating, a centralized vacuum cleaner, a tannoy system and ten en-suite bedrooms.
