The Later Flemish Paintings

The Royal Collection contains a large group of paintings, 147 in all, by Flemish artists who were active principally in the seventeenth century. The introduction to the catalogue gives a detailed history of the growth of the collection from the time of Charles I, noted for his close relations with Rubens, down to the reign of Queen Victoria. During the Hanoverian period, Frederick, Prince of Wales, George III and, above all, George IV, made a range of outstanding acquisitions. Every painting included in the catalogue was newly examined for construction and condition, new photographs were taken and infra-red and X-ray images are provided in many of the catalogue entries.
