Buckingham Palace Picture Gallery Reopens with 120 Paintings

Buckingham Palace’s Picture Gallery has reopened after a rehang that increases the number of displayed paintings from 63 to 120. The 875-hour installation creates new conversations among seven works by Rubens, five by Rembrandt, Caravaggio’s ‘The Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew’ and Vermeer’s ‘Lady at the Virginals with a Gentleman’. Emerald-green silk walls and updated lighting reinterpret the historic appearance of the 47-metre room.
