In 1714 George I ascended the throne as the first British monarch of the German House of Hanover. With the dawn of a new dynastic age came a silent revolution ? one of the most dramatic periods of change across all aspects of British political, intellectual and cultural life. To mark the 300th anniversary of the beginning of the Georgian era, The First Georgians: Art and Monarchy 1714-1760 explores royal patronage and taste in the reigns of George I and George II as a product of a time when Britain was the world's most liberal, commercial and modern society. It brings together over 300 works in the Royal Collection from royal residences across the UK.| 11 Apr 14 to 31 Dec 14 | Buckingham Palace Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
