This is the King's dining room, and appropriately enough, the theme is food. Just look at this amazing ceiling painted by the celebrated Antonio Verrio. And it certainly lives up to its title, The Banquet Of The Gods. Charles chose to create his palace in the latest style sweeping through Europe - baroque. Its grandeur and ambition proclaimed the restoration of the monarchy. I think the Baroque style fitted very well with Charles II's sense of what monarchy looked like. You know, it was kind of big, bold, and it sort of smacked you on the chops. It's not a restrained style. It's kind of exuberant. It's colourful, and it's full of human beings. It's kind of fleshy, if you like. It really was like a fabulous stage set.
