This pioneering study of George IV's last and greatest commission, the rebuilding and refurnishing of the Private Apartments at Windsor Castle, provides an unparalleled insight into his patronage of the arts. By means of newly discovered documents, Hugh Robert has been able to illuminate the King's relationship with his advisers and with the artists and craftsmen he favoured. Much of the surviving furniture is still in its original setting at Windsor and it is published in this volume for the first time.
