The Story of Britain's Royal Builders and Collectors in nine films
Told by Huw Wheldon
The Trooping the Colour was first performed, Kew Gardens planted, and the Royal Academy founded under the first three Georges.
Encouraged by George I and George II, Handel composed his greatest music and George III bought more paintings by Canaletto than exist in any private collection. The books that were his passion became the basis of the British Library in the British Museum. The Gold State Coach in which he rode to open his first Parliament, the china he collected, and the paintings of Gainsborough reflect the confidence of the 18th century. Yet across its ordered landscapes hung the shadow of the mob and political rebellion and in the case of the King private griefs and personal tragedy.
