Inspiration
The Painted Room at the Little Banqueting House is an explosion of colour and gilded extravagance. It is typical of the baroque love affair with creating an illusionistic three-dimensional interior space, open to the sky, painted across the coved ceiling and walls.

Dominating the room are the painted murals of Antonio Verrio, with elaborate and flamboyant gilding work by Peter Cousen. Each scene is presented as if it were a framed painting, surrounded by garlands of flowers and bows within a carved architectural setting.
