HM King Charles III and HM Queen Camilla - Coronation. 2023 by Stephen B. Whatley
The latest painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley:
HM King Charles III & HM Queen Camilla - Coronation Tribute. 2023.
The artist was moved by the evident devotion of the new King and his Queen.
Inspired predominantly by screen shots the artist took from the BBC television broadcast of this year's Coronation and drawing upon studies he personally made in front of the Crown Jewels in the Jewel House in the Tower of London, in 2000; whilst undertaking his Tower of London commission of 30 works.
A modern portrait for a new reign.
The artist's vibrant oils are known from his Royal commissions - two paintings of Buckingham Palace for The Royal Collection Trust, painted on location and reproduced in the 1999 and 2000 advertising campaigns for the Summer Opening of The Palace; and a series of 30 paintings for the Tower of London, commissioned in 2000, colourfully charting its Royal history.
The 30 oil paintings are reproduced throughout the pedestrian walkway that leads from Tower Hill Station to Her Majesty's Tower of London - as a permanent art exhibit open daily since March 2001.
