Few art collections in the world rival the breathtaking scope and splendour of the British Royal Collection, and The Queen's Pictures: Old Masters From The Royal Collection presents a magnificent survey of the masterworks assembled by centuries of monarchs with an eye for the extraordinary. Compiled to accompany a landmark touring exhibition, this authoritative catalogue chronicles the acquisition of paintings by figures such as Charles I — one of history's most passionate royal collectors — and traces the transformation of a private dynastic treasury into a collection of global cultural significance. Works by titans of European painting, including Holbein, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, are examined in rich detail, with Christopher Lloyd's scholarly yet accessible commentary illuminating both their artistic merit and their royal provenance.
