Excerpt from The Royal Collection of Paintings at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, Vol. 1: Buckingham Palace; One Hundred Photogravures With an Introduction and Descriptive Text The history of the Royal Collection of paintings is of some length and by no means devoid of eventful interest. As far back as the reign of King Henry VIII. Documentary records exist of the paintings which were in the possession of the Sovereign in 1542, an inventory of this year being preserved in the Record Office. A similar inventory taken in 1547 after the death of Henry VIII. Is preserved in the British Museum. Unfortunately the descriptions given of the paintings are very curt, and leave much to be conjectured but the paintings, or 'painted tables, fall into three classes, Portraits, Religious Subjects, and Historical Subjects. Of the portraits in the first class some few can still be identified in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle or at Hampton Court Palace.

Gathered over the centuries by successive British monarchs, the Royal Collection contains some 7000 paintings. This book describes the formation of the collection by three successive connoisseur sovereigns, Charles I, George IV and Queen Victoria. Adopting a thematic and wide-ranging approach, it presents the paintings from five different angles: the effect of the Reformation on English painting and the importance of the Grand Tour; animal and landscape painting; state visits, diplomacy and warfare; informal pictures of monarchs and their families; and state portraits and large-scale ceremonial paintings including the coronation of Queen Victoria.
