This range of rooms on the South side of the House are the most magnificent of all the state apartments. The dramatic painted ceilings were executed by Antonio Verrio in the late 17th century. The George Rooms contain furnishings and decorations of the highest quality; even including silver mounts on the fireplaces. Of all the paintings at Burghley, perhaps one of the finest is Carlo Dolci’s "Christ Blessing the Bread and Wine" which hangs in the Jewel Closet.
