MoreThe Queen's Gallery is located adjacent to Buckingham Palace, on the site of what was once a private chapel for Queen Victoria. The chapel was destroyed in an air raid in 1940, and at the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh it was developed as an art gallery for the Royal Collection in 1962. In 1997, a project began to expand and modernise the gallery, the most significant addition to Buckingham Palace in 150 years. The Queen's Gallery was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in May 2002 as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations, and today it hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection.
This winter, the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace will host a major exhibition showcasing more than 100 great works from the history of Henry VIII's court, including drawings, paintings and miniatures by Hans Holbein. paintings, which will form part of Holbein's Royal Collection.
Hans-Holbein was one of the most talented artists of the 16th century and later became an epoch-making artist in Tudor England. From the time he arrived in England in search of work, he was chosen to paint portraits of Henry VIII, his family and leading figures including Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More. After Holbein's death, his work was as revered by his contemporaries as it is today. His portraits inspired the next generation of artists to depict Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.
While celebrating Holbein's artistic skill, the exhibition also explores the artist's career and the lives of those who commissioned his portraits, bringing us face to face with the character of 16th-century England.
The centerpiece of the exhibition are more than 40 portraits, which were likely acquired by Henry VIII upon the artist's death. These meticulously crafted sketches were taken by Holbein during a solo exhibition. The survival of these sketches gives us a face-to-face look at some of the key figures at the Tudor court, from Anne Boleyn to Sir Thomas More. Although these superb works cannot be permanently displayed for various reasons, the exhibition will provide visitors with the opportunity to study them up close and witness their superb craftsmanship first-hand.
