On behalf of us all at Strawberry Hill House, thank you to everyone who has helped us meet our target. Watching the percentage grow day by day has been a real thrill and we've been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and support we have received. Clearly acquiring this remarkable painting is a rare opportunity and we look forward to this portrait joining other works in our collection.

With 6 days still to go, can you help us go even further? Once we have acquired the painting, we want to be able to give the painting pride of place. All additional funds will go toward new lighting and interpretation to make the most of this exceptional work for our visitors. This will include a rehang of some of our paintings in the Great Parlour at Strawberry Hill House in preparation for displaying Horace’s portrait alongside other family portraits.

Thank you once again for your generous support and please do continue to share with all your friends and family. We look forward to welcoming you to Strawberry Hill House & Garden very soon.
