peacock throne

peacock at the getty image bank. lounging on the window sill of a garden pavilion. the temple of the four winds near castle howard. designed by hawksmoor, he takes the nearby castle howard by vanbrugh as inspiration for the tempiettos geometric form and in the course of this it becomes a module for the castle, a single unit of which vanbrugh used in smaller and larger measures in designing the castle.
