The Queen's State Bedchamber, Windsor Castle

The Bedchamber is hung with ten portraits by Sir Peter Lely known as The Windsor Beauties'. One half of the ceiling depicts Diana and Endymion by Antonio Verrio; the other, a later addition, shows Jupiter and Diana by John Rigaud. This illustration was published in W H Pyne's The History of the Royal Residences, which appeared in three volumes in 1819, depicting the royal palaces as they appeared in the reign of King George III (1760-1820)
