What do we really mean when we refer to a painting as a ‘masterpiece’? Do fashion and taste play a role, or is a masterpiece timeless? What do you think the criteria for judging a painting should be? Join the Surveyor of The Queen’s Pictures, Desmond Shawe-Taylor, and Exhibition Co-curator Isabella Manning as they discuss the paintings in our new exhibition ‘Masterpieces from Buckingham Palace’, live from The Queen’s Gallery in London.
