Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: The Queen’s Gallery (In Colour). DESCRIPTION: A new art gallery, in what used to be the chapel of Buckingham Palace, presents a wonderful opportunity for the public to see some of the treasures owned by the Queen. They include 15 portraits of the family of George III, painted and arranged by Gainsborough in 1782; Rembrandt’s Lady with a Fan; a portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger; 3 studies of Charles I, painted by van Dyck for Bernini, who was working on a bust of the King; and a large number of miniatures. They’re among the most valuable of all the exhibits. There is also a remarkable Negress clock, an example of imaginative French craftsmanship at the time of Louis XVI. SHOTLIST: Key scene.
