First of all, I would like to thank you all for this amazing year! It's been a pleasure meeting you all and I'm beyond thankful for your support.
Spread among 13 occupied and historic royal residences in the United Kingdom, the collection is owned by King Charles III and overseen by the Royal Collection Trust. The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.
Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.
About 3,000 objects are on loan to museums throughout the world, and many others are lent on a temporary basis to exhibitions.

Peter Paul Rubens - The Wolf and Fox Hunt, 1616
Now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It shows mounted and walking hunters chasing two wolves and three foxes. The painting was completed with the help of assistants, although the wolves were painted entirely by Rubens.
It marks the beginning of an intensive creative phase in which Rubens focused on the theme of hunting.
Rubens - The Hippopotamus and Crocodile Hunt
Rubens - The Lion Hunt
Rubens - The Tiger Hunt
Rubens - The Wild Boar Hunt
Rubens - Diana Returning from Hunt, 1615
According to the date, this was actually the first of his so-called "Hunting Phase." I'm guessing it doesn't count because it doesn't show the women actually hunting down their prey, or the men hunting for fruit...
And after painting all those damned carnivores, Sir Peter was inspired by Pythagoras's speech in Ovid's Metamorphoses, he followed up with...
Pythagoras Advocating Vegetarianism, 1618
He needed help on this painting, he wasn't very good with fruit, RAW MEAT WAS his specialty after all. He needed the help of of his buddy, Frans, seriously... Frans Snyders had to paint the fruit and he received credit with Rubens on the piece.
Don't believe me? Check it out - ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST
"It was a collaboration between Rubens, who did the figures, and Frans Snyders, who did the foodstuffs. In this case Snyders painted the fruit and vegetables first and then passed the canvas over to Rubens who was careful not to paint over any of his friend's work."
See, I wouldn't make that up. Anyway, while working on the painting he became a full-blown Renaissance Pythagorean Vegetarian (RPV). Shortly after finishing the painting, he locked himself in his studio and planning to prevent partitioning of perspective profits, proceeded to polish up on his production of painted produce. Freaking unfortunate for his ill-fated friend Frans...
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (self-portrait), c. 1620s
Born - June 28, 1577 -- Died - May 30, 1640
