'''[[Matthew Brettingham]]''' (1699–1769) was an English architect who rose from modest origins to become one of the best-known architects of his generation. Much of his principal work has since been demolished, particularly his work in London, where he revolutionised the design of the grand [[townhouse (Great Britain)|townhouse]]. As a result, he is often overlooked today, remembered principally for his [[Palladian architecture|Palladian]] remodelling of numerous country houses, many of them in [[East Anglia]]. Brettingham's practice constructing townhouses for the aristocracy was substantial. Major commissions included [[Norfolk House]] and [[Cumberland House]]. Drawing inspiration from Italian urban palazzi, and from [[Andrea Palladio]]'s [[Palladian villas of the Veneto|rural villas]], he created a style and arrangements of rooms perfectly suited to the mid–18th century nobility. As Brettingham neared the pinnacle of his career, Palladianism began to fall out of fashion and [[neoclassicism]] was introduced, championed by the young [[Robert Adam]]. {{TFAFULL|Matthew Brettingham}}
