Italian, Dutch & Flemish Paintings: Highlights from Buckingham Palace is a temporary display of 16th and 17th century paintings included in a visit to the official Scottish royal residence.
The display provides an opportunity for visitors to see some of the greatest paintings in the Royal Collection while a rehang of the Picture Gallery of Buckingham Palace – where the paintings can usually be seen – takes place.
Spanning a 150-year period, the display showcases paintings that are each an exceptional example of their kind, including Portrait of a Man by the Dutch painter Frans Hals, who was celebrated in his lifetime for his exceptional ability to capture expression and the variety of his brushwork. The oldest work is a brooding portrait by Titian of Jacopo Sannazaro, a prominent scholar and court poet to King Ferdinand I of Naples, completed in c.1514.
Italian, Dutch & Flemish Paintings: Highlights from Buckingham Palace is included in a visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse from 13 November 2025 to 29 March 2026.
