SPECIAL
LOAN EXHIBITION- ROYAL PORTRAIT MINIATURES
This was an exciting
opportunity to see an exhibition of Royal portrait miniatures loaned from
private collections worldwide, many never before seen in public and was held at the Mall Galleries in conjunction with the Royal Miniature
Society's annual exhibition shown during October 2011.
Exquisite and
historic portrait miniatures of successive British monarchs and members of
the Royal family by some of the greatest artists in miniature over the
last four hundred years have uniquely been brought together for this
special exhibition. One of the highlights is a miniature of Queen
Victoria, commissioned by the Queen herself for presentation to the
explorer Henry Morton Stanley and set in a magnificent diamond-set frame.
King Charles I by the 17th
century artist John Hoskins, Frederick, Prince of Wales by Christian
Frederick Zincke and the great enamel artist Henry Bone's portrait of
Princess Elizabeth given by her to Lord St. Helens in 1810 are amongst the
other masterworks in the exhibition.
Miniatures of Kings and Queens from the reign of Elizabeth I to
that of the present Queen have been generously lent as well as
miniatures of other members of the Royal family including the contemporary
Australian artist Edward Dyas's portraits of Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon and
Diana, Princess of Wales.
The
exhibition was curated by Richard Chadwick, historian and researcher of
portrait miniatures.
