The King’s Staircase of Hampton Court Palace was
the inspiration behind Verrio Mirrors; an
elaborate series of trompe l’oeil pillars created by
master artist Antonio Verrio for William III.
Verrio’s breath-taking work was much admired by
the royals of the time, his imposing artworks
being featured throughout Hampton Court
Palace’s baroque expansion of the original Tudor
residence. The staircase’s vast design creates the
illusion of a great Roman courtyard open to the
sky and can be paired with both King’s Argent and
Fresco Sky to complete this enchanting scene
