Verrios breathtaking work was much admired by the royals of the time, his imposing artworks being featured throughout Hampton Court Palaces baroque expansion of the original Tudor residence. The staircases vast design creates the illusion of a great Roman courtyard open to the sky and can be paired with both Kings Argent and Fresco Sky to complete this enchanting scene.
