• Resumen

  • Recent archival research, published here for the first time, reveals that in the years 1732–34, during his ten-year stay in London (ca. 1729–39), the Venetian painter Jacopo Amigoni lived in Silver Street (now Beak Street), near Golden Square, only moving to Great Marlborough Street in 1734, where he stayed until 1739. The Poor Rates register reveals that “James Amicony” occupied a house in Silver Street between 1732 and 1734. This article speculates on how Amigoni might have decorated the house, which was in the increasingly fashionable West End, and on his social activities in the area.
