THE QUEEN'S GALLERY (IN COLOUR)
A new art gallery, in what used to be the chapel of Buckingham Palace, presents a wonderful opportunity for the public to see some of the treasures owned by the Queen. They include 15 portraits of the family of George III, painted and arranged by Gainsborough in 1782; Rembrandt's Lady with a Fan; a portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger; 3 studies of Charles I, painted by van Dyck for Bernini, who was working on a bust of the King; and a large number of miniatures. They're among the most valuable of all the exhibits. There is also a remarkable Negress clock, an example of imaginative French craftsmanship at the time of Louis XVI.

Queen of Great Britain in Edinburgh, Scotland
The queen was in Scotland. And Harry. He was in the car too.
Edinburgh, Scotland, UK summary
longer movie about Edinburgh available here:
Edinburgh, Scotland UK highlights can be seen in three days. On day One: Royal Mile and Castle; Day Two: New Town, National Museum of History and shopping; Day Three: to the Royal Yacht Britannia at Leith waterfront, then the National Gallery of Art and free time.
The best place to begin is a few blocks in front of Edinburgh Castle, high above the city where Edinburgh was first settled. It’s a lovely downhill walk from here along what is called the Royal Mile which is anchored at one end by the Castle and at the other end by Holyroodhouse Palace, one of the queen’s summer homes in Scotland. This route has one of the most concentrated collections of historic sights in Europe, along with attractive little shops and many tempting restaurants and pubs. Several former homes on the Royal Mile are open as museums, giving you a vivid idea of what domestic life was like four hundred years ago.
Edinburgh’s Old Town has retained many of its original buildings and the 18th century New Town is also well-preserved, both still functioning as a great examples of healthy urban neighborhoods. This large number of authentic buildings presents you with a rare chance to experience genuine historic settings that have been beautifully preserved, unlike so many destinations that got modernized. and then attempt to re-create an “authentic reproduction” of the past. Edinburgh is the real thing.

Buckingham Palace gallery explores portraits in all their forms
(4 Nov 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4064067
LEAD IN:
Buckingham Palace's art gallery is unveiling a new exhibit which explores artists' portraits in all their various forms - from small sketches to a sprawling, five-metre wide oil painting.
Among the famous faces hanging on the walls: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Rubens, Rembrandt and Reynolds.
STORY-LINE:
Portraits can take on several different meanings. This self-portrait by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens was an apology.
It was sent to English monarch Charles I after an earlier piece had been found to be a studio work and not from the artist's own hand.
Rubens had sent the earlier work not knowing it was intended for the monarch. This replacement was intended to showcase his talents.
It's now taking pride of place in a new exhibition at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace.
'Portrait of the Artist' features over 150 paintings drawn from the Royal Collection.
It shows there's more to portraits than just faces - sometimes they can be used for self-promotion, at other times they show artists at work.
This is very much not an exhibition of a series of faces, it's not just a series of self-portraits of similar-looking people through time, says Anna Reynolds, a senior curator at the Royal Collection Trust.
There are themes within this exhibition which include the cult of the artist, for example, all about the artistic personality, what it means to be an artist.
So artists at various times have been esteemed and raised to the same level as a prince or an emperor, but some have felt very rejected, so it's the idea of what it means to be an artist.
But we also have images of artists at work, and we artists dressing up or playing different roles, so playing the role or a personification, or a figure, or wearing very strange clothing.
This 1908 self-portrait by French painter Jean-Baptiste Edouard Detaille shows him sporting an extravagant moustache and puffing a pipe.
He's wearing the uniform of a Red Lancer from Napoleon's Imperial Guard from almost a hundred years earlier.
With their rising status from the Renaissance onwards, artists increasingly acknowledged their own profession in self-portraits, perhaps showing a brush or palette.
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh makes an appearance. And his art does too.
The exhibition features these reciprocal portraits of the Duke of Edinburgh and British landscape artist Edward Seago.
They were painted onboard the Royal Yacht Britannia during Prince Philip's world tour in 1956-7.
The Duke of Edinburgh, one of his favored artists was Edward Seago and he invited Seago to accompany him on a trip on HMS Britannia back from Australia in 1956 because he thought that Seago might see some amazing landscapes as they sailed past Antarctica for Seago to paint, explains Reynolds.
And while they were there, evidently, they painted each other.
Bringing things right up to date, there's this etched self-portrait by Lucian Freud. It was done in 1996 when he was 74-years-old.
Freud also makes an appearance in this photograph, showing him painting a portrait of the Queen in 2001.
The sittings happened in the conservation studio at St. James's Palace, says Reynolds.
And when you see the photograph, you see how bare the walls are and there's a pipe running. This is not a grand palatial interior to be painting in. And it shows the reality of what it was like to sit for a portrait.
The largest work in the exhibit is this sprawling, five-metre wide oil painting of revelers escorting a 13th century altarpiece through the streets of Florence.
But sometimes it's the smaller details which matter. Like this self-portrait by Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi.
Some portraits can poke fun.

Windsor Castle - wonders of Great Britain
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is notable for its long association with the English and later British royal family and for its architecture. The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I, it has been used by the reigning monarch and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish early 19th-century State Apartments were described by the art historian Hugh Roberts as a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste.[4] Inside the castle walls is the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by the historian John Martin Robinson to be one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic design.[5]
Originally designed to protect Norman dominance around the outskirts of London and oversee a strategically important part of the River Thames, Windsor Castle was built as a motte-and-bailey, with three wards surrounding a central mound. Gradually replaced with stone fortifications, the castle withstood a prolonged siege during the First Barons' War at the start of the 13th century. Henry III built a luxurious royal palace within the castle during the middle of the century, and Edward III went further, rebuilding the palace to make an even grander set of buildings in what would become the most expensive secular building project of the entire Middle Ages in England.[6] Edward's core design lasted through the Tudor period, during which Henry VIII and Elizabeth I made increasing use of the castle as a royal court and centre for diplomatic entertainment.
Windsor Castle survived the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, when it was used as a military headquarters by Parliamentary forces and a prison for Charles I. At the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Charles II rebuilt much of Windsor Castle with the help of the architect Hugh May, creating a set of extravagant Baroque interiors that are still admired. After a period of neglect during the 18th century, George III and George IV renovated and rebuilt Charles II's palace at colossal expense, producing the current design of the State Apartments, full of Rococo, Gothic and Baroque furnishings. Queen Victoria made a few minor changes to the castle, which became the centre for royal entertainment for much of her reign. Windsor Castle was used as a refuge by the royal family during the Luftwaffe bombing campaigns of the Second World War and survived a fire in 1992. It is a popular tourist attraction, a venue for hosting state visits, and the preferred weekend home of Elizabeth II.

The wonderful thing about portraits or self-portraits is that it can show you at work so you see the artist standing at their easel, but you also see the artist how they want to be depicted. So if you see them in the role of some great character form the Bible, it's fantastic, it's almost like dressing up for Halloween.
