La Reine Elizabeth II Fête Les 60 Ans De Son Cou- Ronnement La reine Elizabeth II fête les 60 ans de son cou- ronnement ANNIVERSAIRE - La cérémonie se déroule en privé et en famille... La reine Elizabeth II, 87 ans, célébrait dimanche le 60e anniversaire jour pour jour de son couronnement dans la discrétion, avant une cérémonie organisée pour l'occasion mardi à l'abbaye de Westminster. Le 2 juin 1953, la souveraine alors âgée de 27 ans, était couronnée dans cette même abbaye à Londres, devant plus de 8.000 invités et les représentants de 129 pays et territoires, sous les yeux de quelque 27 millions de téléspectateurs britanniques. Soixante ans plus tard, Elizabeth II passe la journée de dimanche «en privé», selon le palais de Buckingham, vraisemblablement dans son château de Windsor. La veille, la reine a assis- té au derby d'Epsom, célèbre course de chevaux où elle avait l'année dernière célébré la pre- mière journée de son jubilé de diamant. Ces festivités, organisées en grande pompe, avaient marqué les soixante ans de règne de la souveraine, qui a accédé au trône à la mort de son père George VI le 6 février 1952 mais n'a été couronnée que 16 mois plus tard. Les célébrations d'anniversaire du couronnement sont de moindre envergure. Quelque 2.000 invités doivent assister mardi à une cérémonie à 11H00 à l'abbaye de Westminster. M.J.C.

[email protected] 1 William et Kate sont à ses côtés L'archevêque de Cantorbéry Justin Welby, chef spirituel des Anglicans, doit prononcer un sermon tandis que le Premier ministre David Cameron, 12e chef de gouvernement que la reine ait connu, doit lire un passage de la Bible. Une vingtaine de membres de la famille royale seront aux côtés de la reine, dont son époux, le prince Philip, 91 ans, ainsi que le prince William et son épouse Catherine, qui attendent leur premier enfant, future héritier(e) du trône, pour le mois de juillet. L'une des demoiselles d'honneur de la cérémonie de couronnement en 1953, Moyra Camp- bell, a raconté sur Sky News ses souvenirs de cet événement «inoubliable», qui avait été pour la première fois télévisé. «L'abbaye était transformée par les éclairages de la télévision (...) On avait l'impression que ces anciens murs étaient littéralement en train de se désinté- grer, et que le monde entier était présent, c'était une sensation extraordinaire», a-t-elle dit. Lundi, 41 coups de canon seront tirés en l'honneur de la reine d'un parc près de Buck- ingham, suivis d'une salve depuis la Tour de Londres. Un «festival du couronnement» sera organisé du 11 au 14 juillet dans les jardins du palais. A partir du 27 juillet, une exposition permettra au public de découvrir les costumes du couronnement, notamment la fastueuse robe de satin blanc, brodée de fils d'or, d'argent et de perles, portée en 1953 par la souve- raine.

En ce moment suprême, la jeune femme, âgée de 27 ans, incarne tout l'avenir de l'Angleterre. Au cœur de l'abbaye de Westminster, l'archevêque de Canterbury pose délicatement, sur la tête d'Elisabeth II, le plus prestigieux des symboles de la souveraineté: la fameuse couronne de Saint Edouard sertie de plus de mille pierres précieuses. A cet instant précis, huit mille voix s'élèvent pour demander que «God save the queen». Les fastes du couronnement ... A l’issue de la cérémonie, la reine devint alors souverain de multiples nations. Élisabeth II dut ainsi répondre à la question de l'archevêque de Canterbury: «Promettez-vous et jurez- vous solennellement de gouverner les Peuples du Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord, du Canada, d'Australie, de Nouvelle-Zélande, de l'Union d'Afrique du Sud, du Pakistan, de Ceylan et de vos possessions et autres territoires selon leurs lois et cou- tumes respectives ?». A cette question, la reine répondit ... «Je le promets solennellement». L'archevêque de Canterbury: «Voulez-vous, dans la mesure du possible, rendre tous vos juge- ments avec clémence selon la loi et la justice ?» La Reine : «Je le veux». M.J.C.

Cette série britannique de portraits la reine Elizabeth II semble nous in- diquer que l'image de la reine a tellement été représentée, qu'elle devient comme un modèle parfait pour le portraitiste qui peut la dé- cliner à l'infini. To mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation, we’ve created an extraordinary collection featuring some of the finest portraits of Her Majesty. 1953 Terence Cuneo – 2nd Class It was the Queen’s representatives, the Lord- Lieutenants of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who commissioned Cuneo to paint the Coronation. The artist attended all eight rehearsals for the event then be- gan painting in the early morning of the Coronation, sketching for eight hours straight. The painting featured on the stamp is a preparatory oil sketch depicting the Queen alone, executed with great liveliness of brushwork and intensity of colour, seen especially in the abstract haze of light surrounding the figure.

[email protected] 5 1955 Pietro Annigoni - 88p This celebrated portrait was commissioned in 1954 by the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers for their magnificent hall over- looking the Thames. Pietro commented how in awe of the Queen he was, until she began chatting to him in French. She told him that as a child she liked to watch the world go by from the windows of Buckingham Palace. It was at this moment Pietro realised what his portrait should convey: “the Queen who, while dear to the hearts of millions whom she loved, was herself alone and far off.” 1992 Richard Stone - £1.88 In 1989, Richard Stone’s home town of Colchester celebrated its 800th anniversary of its Royal Charter; a portrait was commis- sioned to mark this occasion then later unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery. The artist’s style is intended to match the gran- deur and dignity of the golden age of British portraiture. The profile view adds an element of gravity and introspection. After seeing the finished work, the Queen remarked somewhat prophetically, “it will make a good stamp”. 1999 Andrew Festing – 78p Commissioned by the Royal Hospital Chelsea, this portrait is displayed in the entrance hall of its museum. The Queen is shown at Chelsea Hospital, on the steps leading to the Council Chamber. She wears the regalia for the State Opening of Parliament – the Parliamentary Robe of State and the Diamond Diadem. Her traditional costume conveys the continuity in British life of which the monarchy is the most powerful expression. 2000 Sergei Pavlenko – £1.28 Commissioned by the Worshipful Company of Drapers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Queen becoming a Freeman of the Company, this painting hangs in the Court Dining Room at Drapers’ Hall. Unveiled in November 2000, the portrait shows the Queen in Garter robes with one unusual addition – the Drapers’ brooch, presented to Her Majesty in 1947. Pavlenko’s image conveys the Queen as the nation’s most exalted and famous hostess, welcoming hundreds of people every year to Buckingham Palace. 2013 – 1st Class This portrait was commissioned by Royal Mail especially for this collection and shows the Queen in Garter robes. The artist demonstrates mastery of paint, with the Queen’s head carefully described yet with remarkable animation in the brushstroke and expression. The finished piece shows the Queen wearing the regalia of one of her offices with an easy and cheerful assurance. The portrait expresses Her Majesty’s joy and quiet satisfaction at the end of a magnificent Jubilee year.

I was twenty-four and travelled down to Italy by myself on the train. I took the cheapest lodgings available in Florence: a dormitory in a sort of convent, Pio X, in Via dei Serragli. The room was big and very cold, with numerous beds. It was 1,000lire a night. I think the Pensionato Pio X is still there… 4/98 Two girls in the dormitory got up early every morning and ran out hastily, which made me wonder where they were off to, in such a hurry. When I asked, they told me they were going to Studio Simi. I explained that I was an art student too, and asked if I could come and have a look at this …Studio Simi. An appointment was made for 12 o’clock, at the end of the morning pose.

The thesis goes beyond the similarity of the shared name of the two monarchs; it shows the major changes not only in the way of portraying a queen but also in the way in which the public has changed its perception of the monarch and of the monarchy. Elizabeth I aimed to unite a nation by focusing the eye upon herself, while Elizabeth II triumphed through humanity and informality.

  • A Palace and the City Stefania Ricci in May 1995 the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, One of the First Italian Corporate Museums, Was Inaugurated in Florence
    A Palace and the City STEFANIA RICCI In May 1995 the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, one of the first Italian corporate museums, was inaugurated in Florence. The Ferragamo family, owners of the celebrated fashion com- pany, were deeply committed to the project, which received the support of the Superintend- ency of the Cultural Heritage at that time. The new museum was founded to recount the brand’s history through the life and work of its founder, whose creations, women’s shoes made ​​for an elite clientele, were rightly held to be valuable examples, by their inventiveness and quality craftsmanship, of an important chapter in the history of production in Italy. The initiative was further encouraged by the success with the public, especially young people, of the Salvatore Ferragamo exhibitions held (invariably in the month of May) by some of the most prestigious museums around the world that, in the decade following the first event at Palazzo Strozzi in May 1985, preceded the museum’s foundation. The inaugural event was accompanied by a publication that celebrated not so much Fer- ragamo, to whom the museum was dedicated, as Palazzo Spini Feroni, the building that would house the institution and had been Ferragamo’s premises since 1938. For two art historians like myself and Riccardo Spinelli, my companion in that adventure, an opportunity had at last come to explore the historical and artistic vicissitudes of one of the most prestigious buildings in Florence, a significant part of the city’s history and its urban development ever since the Mid- dle Ages, described in guide books and depicted in the earliest views of the city.

Stephen Doherty Many of the important realists of the 20th century were profiled in American Artist , and those feature articles had a strong influence on painters who were hungry for information that might inform and instruct their creative efforts. Daniel Graves was fortunate to study with several of those influential artists, including Joseph Sheppard, Frank Russell, Richard Serrin, Richard Lack, Pietro Annigoni, and Nerina Simi; and he was profiled in the December 1988 cover story. Since then, Graves has continued to pass on the great training he received to new generations of artists, and the magazine has featured a number of his former students, some of whom now teach in the United States and Europe.
