Portraits of the British Royals

HM has such a lovely smile and I like her new portrait. The black and white is a nice idea.

I think it's a great and warm portrait of The Queen. The eyes of her father, grandfather and grandmother comes shinning through.

 

[LadyGabrielle]

I agree with you Dman. It is a very warm portrait of the Queen. I like it.

This and other portraits of the queen are not very flattering when she smiles.She is not an actress but a more dignified lady

I saw this painting on the Facebook page British Commonwealth. Is Her Majesty wearing the Order of the Thistle?

Yes, she wearing the robe but without the collar.

Yes, she wearing the robe but without the collar.

Thank you, Dman. I am getting better at recognizing things like this.

It almost looked like some one photo shopped a bad William head on a portrait on a young George V with that old style collar. Hope that portrait is hidden in a basement loo because it isn't very good. Making a 18 yr in the year 2000 look like he is in the 1910s isn't a good ideal.

Flury uses this mannered style for his portraits. It seems this work was a gift upon the Prince's 18th birthday. See RITRATTISTI :: Pittore e Ritrattista Albert Edwin Flury for more info.

Albert Edwin is one grand and superb painter!
His use of color is outstanding!

A very accurate and creative portrait of Camilla. Very well done, IMO.

 

[TLLK]

I like it very much and it is a very good likeness of Camilla.

 

[Mermaid1962]

What a strange painting! The artist appears to be giving William gravitas and a place in history, yet the Prince's face and mood don't fit his surroundings. It's like an old painting with William's face stuck on it.

It totally looks like someone just put a bad William head on portrait of a young George V. What's up with the Edwardian collar and tie?

The queen has always faced right on coins, tradition says Charles will face left, then William right, and George left.

Video:
A new image of the Queen has been unveiled by the Royal Mint today, which will appear on new coins in April. It is the fifth portrait of the Queen to be used since her coronation in 1953. Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark was picked to create the design. Shows: Intro by Adam Lawrence, Royal Mint CEO, unveiling of image, photocall Jody Clark with portrait and Intv and gvs of all five portraits. .

Hmm, Jody Clark's drawing is more successful than the engraving on the coin IMO. I am glad to see the George IV State Diadem back, though. Nice as the GGBNI is, nothing matches the GIV.
