Beckford, William writer, connoisseur, collector great-britain 1760 - 2 May 1844, Bath Grave location: Bath, Avon: Walcot Cemetery Son of the famous Lord Mayor of London of the same name, whose fortune from the West-Indies he inherited. In 1777 he travelled to Switzerland and Italy, where he stayed with Sir William Hamilton and Lady Catherine Hamilton. The latter became a close friend and adviser. Back in London he was romantically involved with Louise Beckford, the wife of his cousin, and then with William Courtenay, a thirteen year old boy. To avoid a huge scandal he was sent abroad once more and travelled through Europe. He was with the Hamiltons when Catherine died. This was a huge blow to him and he returned to London where he wrote "Dreams". In 1783 he married Lady Margaret Gordon and in 1784 he entered Parliament. The 'Powderham Scandal' resulted is his leaving England once more. His wife died soon after the birth of their second daughter and for twelve years he travelled through Europe, collecting books, paintings and all kinds of curiosities. Beckford spent a large part of his later life in complete isolation in Fonthill Abbey, a large house in gothic style especially built for him. Here he kept his enormous collections. The house had cost him around 273,000 pounds and financial problems forced him to sell it in 1822, together with part of his collections.

Press Release William Beckford, 1760-1844: An Eye for the Magnificent The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture October 18, 2001 - January 6, 2002 The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture will present the first major exhibition on the life of William Beckford (1760-1844), the preeminent connoisseur of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and one of the most influential collectors of the past 200 years of European and Asian art. The exhibition will be on view at the Center from October 2001 to early January 2002, after which it will travel to the prestigious Dulwich Picture Gallery, London. William Beckford, 1760-1844: An Eye for the Magnificent will reestablish Beckford's legacy as a passionate collector who recognized the historic and aesthetic merit in works of art and broke with popular taste to assemble one of the most eclectic and luxurious collections of his time. Although best remembered today as the author of the popular Gothic romance novel Vathek, and the builder of his fantastic residence Fonthill Abbey, it was through his extensive yet impeccable collecting that Beckford made an indelible mark. William Beckford, 1760-1844: An Eye for the Magnificent brings together 175 extraordinary works of art spanning three centuries: paintings, drawings, engravings, lithographs, European and Chinese silver and porcelain, Japanese lacquer and English, French and Italian furniture. These works are drawn from private collections and from prestigious American and British institutions such as the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, London, the Ashmolean Museum, the National Trust of Scotland and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
