Kensington Palace (2)

Last stop Kensington Palace which I should know better than I do, including the William Kent murals on the walls of the King’s Staircase with the picture of Peter the naughty Wild Boy:-

And Kent himself who looks down from above, apparently in company with his mistresses:-

George II in Roman mode by Rysbrack:-

And Queen Caroline:-

I had also forgotten that the portrait busts she commissioned of scientists and intellectuals for her grotto at Kew ended up here, including Newton:-

It’s always a pleasure to see the Orangery, the end of the trip:-

Standard
