Virtually walk through the Palace and marvel at the original artwork of Cecily Brown in the magnificent State Rooms.

This is first exhibition in the Foundation’s programme to be comprised entirely of new work created in response to the Palace’s history as an English country estate and as the home to successive generations of the Spencer-Churchill family and their collection of paintings, tapestries and decorative arts.

Rendered in her emotive, frenetic brushstrokes, Brown’s new series visually references masterpieces by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Sir Anthony Van Dyck on view at the Palace, as well as family heraldry, armorial banners and the martial scenes of the Blenheim Tapestries that line the State Rooms.

Delve deeper into the preparation of the show with an exclusive interview between artist Cecily Brown and Director of Blenheim Art Foundation Michael Frahm. Read the Interview
