To commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of King Charles III (1716-1788), the National Heritage Museum has organized an exhibition at the Royal Palace in Madrid dedicated specifically to the study of court art created under his direct patronage. This catalog covers the complete renovation of all the Royal Palaces carried out by Charles III. Visitors will be able to see the works that adorned the Royal Bedroom, the mural paintings that decorated the vaults of the royal palaces, as well as the most delicate pieces crafted by the royal cabinetmaking, bronze, and embroidery workshops.
