Description
Buckingham Palace's Picture Gallery is home to some of the world's most celebrated paintings. This beautifully designed book brings together 65 masterpieces from this iconic collection, featuring works by artists such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and Rubens.
Surveyor of The Queen's Pictures Desmond Shawe-Taylor and Assistant Curator Isabella Manning offer new insights into these world-famous works of art. Rather than focusing on provenance and attribution, they encourage readers to look at the paintings in a new way, exploring how artists use colour, light and composition to create their unique effects.
The book also provides an introduction to the creation of the Picture Gallery and the monarchs who curated this extraordinary collection of paintings. With its beautiful design and engaging approach, Masterpieces from Buckingham Palace is a must-have for anyone interested in art and history.
