  • The sculpture of a heroic male figure on horseback entitled Physical Energy by artist George Frederick Watts in the Annenberg Courtyard of Burlington House, the Royal Academy in Piccadilly where the exhibition entitled 'Charles 1, King and Collector' is showing, on 6th April 2018, in London, England. This is a new cast of the original that was first exhibited outside the RA in 1904 and is an allegory of the human need for new challenges, of our instinct to always be scanning the horizon and the future. King Charles I amassed one of the most extraordinary art collections of his age, acquiring works by some of the finest artists of the past – Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Dürer – and commissioning leading contemporary artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens. Following the his execution in 1649, the king's collection was sold off and scattered across Europe. Many works were retrieved during the Restoration, others now form the core of museums such as the Louvre and the Prado. This show reunites the greatest masterpieces of this magnificent collection for the first time.

  • The sculpture of a heroic male figure on horseback entitled Physical Energy by artist George Frederick Watts in the Annenberg Courtyard of Burlington House, the Royal Academy in Piccadilly where the exhibition entitled 'Charles 1, King and Collector' is showing, on 6th April 2018, in London, England. This is a new cast of the original that was first exhibited outside the RA in 1904 and is an allegory of the human need for new challenges, of our instinct to always be scanning the horizon and the future. King Charles I amassed one of the most extraordinary art collections of his age, acquiring works by some of the finest artists of the past – Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Dürer – and commissioning leading contemporary artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens. Following the his execution in 1649, the king's collection was sold off and scattered across Europe. Many works were retrieved during the Restoration, others now form the core of museums such as the Louvre and the Prado. This show reunites the greatest masterpieces of this magnificent collection for the first time.
