Terms and Conditions for Royal Academy Events & Lectures
Drawing on the concept of the picturesque, and in emulation of Napoleonic Paris, Nash devised a fabulous scenography which connected two royal parks - St James’s and the newly created Regent’s - via the processional route of Regent Street. With the patronage of the Prince Regent, Nash’s elegant backdrops, which attempted to replace the dirt, danger, and squalor of eighteenth-century London, can still be seen today. The impact of Nash’s architecture and of his lively personality is discussed by the Head of the Department of History of Art at Cambridge University, David Watkin.
