Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Art - History of Art, grade: 1,3, University of Essex (Art History), course: Art, Sex & Death in the 18th Century, language: English, abstract: This presentation introduces a selection of paintings in the picture room of Sir John Soane's Museum in London. A specialty of the picture room is its exceptional hanging with the openable panels. In this way the room that actually measures about 13 to 12 feet can grasp over a hundred paintings. Another advantage of the panels is that like this it is possible to see the paintings in different angles. Most of the paintings were bought by Soane on auctions, some are also commissions by himself.
