About the
images
The dramatic events surrounding the acquisition
and loss of the art collections of Charles I and his courtiers are explored in a
new book by art historian Francis Haskell.
In The King's Pictures, Haskell traces
the fate of collections extracted from Italy, Spain and France by Charles and
his circle which, after a brief stay in Britain, were largely dispersed
following the civil war to princely galleries across the continent.
One of the most influential art historians of
the 20th century, Haskell explores the factors that forever changed the artistic
map of Europe
