A fascinating figure in British and Irish history, the "Earl Bishop" is remembered for his unique combination of ecclesiastical authority and aristocratic influence, and renowned for his extensive travel across Europe which deeply influenced his life.
His grand tours left a lasting imprint not only on his personal collections but also on the broader cultural and architectural landscape of his time.
