Mis-captioned - this is the library at Queen's College, Oxford (compare the admittedly tiny image at www.queens.ox.ac.uk/library/ - a Google search will bring up bigger images, but this is the College's website - they can't have got it wrong!) According to Anthony F. Kersting and John Ashdown, The buildings of Oxford (London: Batsford, 1980), p.147 the ceiling represents two phases of work, the primary scheme by James Hands completed in 1695 having been embellished in the rococo style by Thomas Roberts in 1756 (I have added a note to the photo to indicate one of the areas that I think this involved).

Thanks, sps1955! Could you pls provide a real name along with your corrections? sps1955 sounds mis-captioned as well :( Cheers, Harald

i know that "Spanish or Portuguese Doorway" is probably the original title from 19c. but... I don't know where, but definitely spanish more spanish plateresque than portuguese manueline or renaissance style; and the coats of arms over the door have the castle tower and the lion that represents the Castilla and Léon kingdom of nowadays Spain

Hello cbartolo1968 ! Thanks for letting us know about this! We'll try to have someone at the library take a look at this.
