Royal exhibit comes to Clotworthy

Running until August 3, Queen Elizabeth II – Portrait Of A Reign is presented in association with the National Portrait Gallery.

As one of the most famous and photographed women in the world, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has spent her life in the public eye and has seen her portrait immortalised in all the major art media, including celluloid, canvas, sculpture and digital.

As her Diamond Jubilee is celebrated around the world, this exhibition of portraits, selected from the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, charts her life through the work of such eminent artists as Cecil Beaton, Marcus Adams, Dorothy Wilding, Terry O’Neill, and the Earl of Lichfield, and helps put into perspective the passage of time, the changes in fashion and styles, and the events that have shaped her long reign as monarch.

Admission to the exhibition is free.
