King Charles to reveal insight into his life in unique exhibition

King Charles Celebrate the artists who have captured their foreign visits.

The King, 76, reveals some of the works generated by his extensive trips as a midpoint in the summer opening of Buckingham Palace from July 10 to September 28.

The exhibition will show 70 works of art created by 42 artists, many of whom have never seen publicly before.

Charles has a history of keeping the tradition of royal court artists alive, and they have been beside him on many of his tours as he crossed the world. It all began in the spring of 1985, when the then prince of Wales invited, at his own expense, British artist John Ward to go with him on a visit to Italy and draw what he saw and wanted to capture.

Last artist Fraser Scarfe caught the best moments by Charles’s four -day visit to Rome in April, along with Queen Camilla77, on his iPad.

The unique exhibition was designed by the Earl from Rosslyn, who is Lord Steward and personal secretary for the King and Queen. He also edited the companion book, The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with the KingAnd explained in a statement, “By inviting an artist to join a royal tour in 1985, the king started a tradition that has continued uninterrupted for the current day.”

“Some were at the beginning of their career, others more established, but when interviewed for this book, everyone was joined in gratitude for the memorable artistic adventure it represented, and also knew that they worked for someone in sympathy with the artistic craft, a protector of the art and a passionate advocate for cultural life.”

The collection includes Richard Foster, who joined Charles and Queen Camila on an 11-day tour to Chile, Brazil and Ecuador in 2009. He caught the couple who looked out to the sea in the middle of the semi-dry landscape in the uninhabited northern Seymour Island in Galápagos Islands.

At the same time, Susannah Fiennes, who produced a series of pictures during a visit by Charles – is when he was Prince of Wales – to Hong Kong for the surrender of the then British colony to China in 1997 also among the collection.

Mary Anne Aytoun Ellis, who was also taken to Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Jamaica in 2000 – who thought the visit was so quick to go before one of the visits – which seemed to be able to paint in time that was so fast.

Paul Reid is said to have sketched out what he saw during the 2004 tour to Italy, Turkey and Jordan and then transferred his memories, impressions to cloths later.

Kate Heard, curator of King’s Tour Artists, said in a statement, “This fascinating group of works tells the story of forty years of official travel and artistic protection. The freedom given to each artist to capture a personal impression of the countries visited has led to the formation of a rich and varied collection. “

“Comprehensive landscapes, figure studies and still life subjects, these works are evidence of His Majesty’s deep commitment with and encouragement of artists over the past four decades.”

The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with the King WI will be published simultaneously with the exhibition and recall from the artists and over 100 illustrations.
