Artist & Art : Coronation Portrait by Stephen B. Whatley. 2023

Artist Stephen B. Whatley with his portrait tribute:
HM King Charles III & HM Queen Camilla - Coronation Tribute. 2023. Pictured on October 19, 2023.

Today the original painting was collected from the artist for shipping; acquired by collectors in Miami, Florida, USA.

Stephen wrote a personal signed card of the painting to The King and Queen and was very touched to receive a personal letter from Queen Camilla expressing her liking of the painting.

She wrote: " Dear Stephen, So many thanks for your kind card and exquisite portrait inspired by our Coronation. It is absolutely stunning. I was most assured by your prayers. With best wishes, Camilla R " You can see a photograph of the letter two posts back in this photostream.

The painting was inspired predominantly by screen shots the expressionist painter 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.

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.
