The crowning glory of the Banqueting House is its magnificent nine ceiling paintings by Peter Paul Rubens – one of Europe’s most influential and important artists. They were installed in 1636, and Rubens was paid (rather belatedly) £3,000 and given a gold chain for his services. 13 years after the paintings were installed, Charles I viewed the spectacular canvas, which he commissioned as a tribute to his father, for the last time as he walked beneath it to his death. He was executed on a specially built scaffold outside the Banqueting House on 30th January 1649.
