I want this house!!!!!!!

Today we went to Chatsworth it's this huge historical house where the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire live. Here are some of the highlight pictures from my visit.


The picture you see above is called the Foot of Hercules. This is just
the foot of it imagine the whole thing. But I think I just found Big Foot.


This picture is of the Veiled Lady and if you look really closely you will see that her veil is also made of marble. What makes this statue unique is it gives you the illusion that you can look through the veil even though it's made of marble.






This one is of the Shield of Hercules. It's huge he must have been one strong guy.


This is a picture of The kidnapping of the Sabine Women. These women lived somewhere near Rome. The men came from Rome and kidnapped them all because in Rome at the time there weren't many women. So that meant that the men didn't have wives so they came somewhere outside of Rome and kidnapped all these women just so they could have them as their wives. Pretty brutal huh?
