Royal Society of Portrait Painters (RP) 2022 Learn more about the exhibition: https://therp.co.uk/portrait-exhibiti... 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. On this her Platinum Jubilee the Royal Society of Portrait Painters is showing a curated selection of portraits of our monarch by past and present member artists, alongside our Annual Exhibition. The works range from the youthful figure with gravitas depicted in Pietro Annigoni's famous second portrait and the informal image captured by June Mendoza to the regal aura in Andrew Festing's work and the sagacious nonagenarian portrayed by Miriam Escofet, which will be shown to the public for the first time in this exhibition.
