The magnificent 180 foot long neo-Gothic St. George’s Hall room in Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England. The original 14th-century room had an open timber roof and but was remodelled in the 1820s when Sir Jeffry Wyatville renovated this part of Windsor Castle, choosing a Gothic-style of decoration with the walls hung with military weapons and suits of armor on display. The original plaster ceiling had been created to resemble wooden beams and incorporated the arms of the Knights of the Garter since its foundation in 1348.
The magnificent 180 foot long neo-Gothic St. George’s Hall room in Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England. The original 14th-century room had an open timber roof and exposed stone walls that was entirely remodelled in the 1680s, as a classical room with walls and ceiling covered with frescoes by Antonio Verrio. In the 1820s when Sir Jeffry Wyatville renovated this part of Windsor Castle, Verrio's frescoes were blotted out, and in their place he choose a Gothic-style of decoration with the walls hung with military weapons and suits of armor on display.
