Why see it?
It’s a masterpiece
The only surviving in-situ ceiling painting of Peter Paul Rubens is also one of the most famous from a golden age of painting.
It’s massively impressive
Two canvasses measure 28x20ft and two others 40x10ft.
You’ll live to tell about it
The ceiling was one of Charles I’s last sights before he lost his head. The King was executed on a scaffold outside in 1649.
