Well illustrated as you would expect from an exhibition catalogue (I attended at the Royal Academy in 2018), with numerous essays which help understand Charles I’s interest in collecting and commissioning art.

I recently read Palaces of Revolution by Simon Thurley and enjoyed being able to match up the art to royal buildings.

The book is itself a thing of beauty that lives as well as the bronzes it depicts.… (más)
