Covering 500 years, 38 patrons and several continents, this lecture concludes the series by Dr Marie-Anne Mancio which looks at audacious acts of patronage and how they resulted in some of the finest art collections in the world. Queen Victoria’s grand-daughter, Alexandra and her husband Nicholas commissioned a host of extraordinary items for the the Alexander Palace of Tsarskoe Selo. Annually, this included the famous Imperial Easter Eggs by Faberge.
