Painting The Queen | Platinum Jubilee Celebration | Royal Society of Portrait Painters 2022

Royal Society of Portrait Painters (RP) 2022 Learn more about the exhibition: The RP Patron H.M The Queen has reigned for over half of the time the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (RP) has existed. As one of the most painted figures in history, her epoch has been intertwined with portraiture, and as such, intimately connected with members of the Royal Society.
