Theatrical Performances at Windsor Castle - the "Green Room", 1850. Entertainment for Queen Victoria and family at the royal residence, scene showing...actors dressed for "Charles the XII." and others who, engaged in the first piece, have doffed their costumes for their usual dresses. "Charles the XII." was preceded by "King Rene's Daughter, " translated by the Hon. Edmund Phipps, from the German version of the Danish poem of Henric Herz...the State Ante-room...is noticeable as showing the style in which many of the old state rooms had their ceilings decorated. The subject of this pictorial ceiling is the Banquet of the Gods...a fine specimen of the abilities of Verrio...The carved festoons of flowers and game which are above the fire-place, over some looking-glasses, and the recessed doors...are the handywork of Grinling Gibbons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1850, captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie in the Green Room of Windsor Castle during a theatrical performance for Queen Victoria and her family. The room is filled with actors, some still in the midst of preparing for their roles as Charles XII and other characters from the play 'King Rene's Daughter,' while others have already doffed their costumes, revealing their usual attire. The Green Room, with its ornate decor, serves as a sanctuary for the performers, providing a respite from the grandeur of the State Ante-room, where the ceilings are adorned with the Banquet of the Gods, a masterpiece by Verrio. The carved festoons of flowers and game above the fireplace, looking glasses, and recessed doors are the handiwork of Grinling Gibbons, adding to the opulence of the space. The theatrical performances at Windsor Castle were a cherished tradition, offering entertainment and diversion for the royal family and their guests.
