Kensington Palace
The Cupola Room was William Kent's first commission at Kensington Palace. Kent's skill as a painter, strongly criticised by some, was evidently admired by George I.
Between 1722 and 1727 he devised decoration and hung pictures in nearly all the royal apartments at Kensington, and finished by painting the King's Grand Staircase.
Today, Kensington continues its long history as a residence for members of the Royal Family.
