A Curated Art Collection \n at Montagu Suite <\/span>\n <\/h1>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n \n \n
\n\n

\n About the Artwork <\/h2>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n\n

Each Montagu suite features a collection of artwork inspired by the character of Elizabeth Montagu and in the topics discussed in her famous Bluestockings salon: domestic life, botany, the arts, literature, and London society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above the bed, guests sleep under a dreamy still-life painting by American artist Jake Messing, which references Montagu\u2019s character with imagery related to her life and interests. Montagu was a prolific letter writer, so this piece includes a quill pen and envelope as well as diamonds, roses, and gemstones to illustrate her affluence as one of the wealthiest women in England at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beside the bed hangs a signature sleep poem, illustrated by Swedish artist Petra B\u00f6rner. These poems were commissioned through a Call to Writers launched in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London\u2019s MA course for Creative Writing. They are written by poets Josh Geffin and Ese Erheriene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional artwork includes pieces collected from brocantes in France, Belgium, and the UK, as well as a large statement artwork by Austrian artist Rini Spiel whose contemporary style is inspired by the Art Nouveau paintings of Gustav Klimt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
