John Locke Panel
One of four ‘basso relievo’ medallions garnished with oak leaves and set in panels on the stucco ceiling. The names appear in the ribbons above their heads.
John Locke Panel
Modelled from contemporary busts and engravings, this image of John Locke is based on an engraving by George Vertue, after a painting by Godfrey Kneller.
The other medallions show John Milton, Joseph Addison and Alexander Pope and help explain, more than anything written or visual, the Viscount’s feelings for home-bred piety, his great love of common sense and a finely tuned sense of humour.
