Buckingham Palace Doubles Number of Paintings on Display in Rehung Picture Gallery
The re-hang nearly doubles the number of paintings on display to 120 and includes works by Rubens, Caravaggio and Rembrandt.
- Tomorrow, July 9, the 47-metre-long Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace reopens, featuring a "once-in-a-generation re-display" that nearly doubles the number of masterpieces on view to 120.
- Curators spent 875 hours transforming the state room, replacing 1976 coral pink velvet wall coverings with vibrant emerald-green silk damask to reflect evolving historical tastes.
- Works by Peter Paul Rubens, Johannes Vermeer, and Johan Zoffany now feature prominently, including Zoffany's "The Tribuna of the Uffizi," commissioned by Queen Charlotte but declined for display.
- Clarence House remains the London home for King Charles III, who will not move into the palace despite the £369 million refurbishment programme scheduled for completion next year.
- Visitors can also view a 2023 oil study of Charles by Jonathan Yeo, newly gifted to the Royal Collection and displayed in the adjacent Silk Tapestry Room.
