December 2012 PRESS RELEASE For immediate release: 28 March 2018 Exhibition selected by The Prince of Wales will mark His Royal Highness's 70th birthday at the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace To mark the 70th birthday of The Prince of Wales this year, the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace (21 July – 30 September 2018) will include a special display of over 100 works of art personally selected by His Royal Highness. Having grown up surrounded by the Royal Collection, The Prince of Wales has enjoyed a life-long passion for art and, as Chairman of The Royal Collection Trust and Patron of several arts charities, has promoted the creation and understanding of art worldwide. In the exhibition Prince and Patron within the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, a selection of The Prince's favourite works of art from the Royal Collection will be shown alongside works created by young artists supported by three of His Royal Highness's charities – The Royal Drawing School, The Prince's Foundation School of Traditional Arts and Turquoise Mountain. These charities were founded by The Prince of Wales to encourage the revival of dying arts and to maintain traditional skills for the benefit of artists and communities across the world. In a specially recorded message for visitors to Buckingham Palace, The Prince says, 'I have always been captivated by the astonishing range of fascinating things in the Royal Collection that have been collected or commissioned by my ancestors over the generations. This is what, for me, makes the Royal Collection so special, representing, as it does, the unique craftsmanship and skill of the people who made them. As a result, I have long believed that it is vital to preserve and maintain such craftsmanship and this led me to set up three charities.' Among the works selected by His Royal Highness from the Royal Collection is Johan Joseph Zoffany’s painting The Tribuna of the Uffizi, 1772–77, showing connoisseurs and Grand Tourists admiring the Grand Duke of Tuscany’s collection in the Uffizi, Florence. The artist was commissioned to paint the work by Queen Charlotte, consort of George III. The cloak of Napoleon Bonaparte was chosen by The Prince for the compelling story it tells. Made of felt and embroidered in silk, it was removed from the Emperor's baggage train in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and presented to the future George IV by Field Marshal Blücher, who fought alongside the Duke of Wellington. A selection of works from His Royal Highness's personal collection will also feature in the display, including the oil sketch HM The Queen, 1972–73, by Michael Noakes. Purchased by The Prince of Wales in 1973, it usually hangs in the Morning Room of Clarence House. Press Office, Royal Collection Trust, York House, St James’s Palace, London SW1A 1BQ T. +44 (0)20 7839 1377, [email protected], www.royalcollection.org.uk PRESS RELEASE In 2000, The Prince of Wales founded The Royal Drawing School, an independent educational charity raising the standard and profile of observational drawing through teaching and practice. Works chosen by His Royal Highness include the ink drawing The Where That Was by Olivia Kemp, who reimagines Guernsey following time spent on the island as an Artist in Residence, and the watercolour The Church in the Mountains by Sophie Charalambous, inspired by the church of Panagia Phorbiotissa (Panagia of Asinou) in the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus. The exhibiting artists are graduates of The Royal Drawing School’s prestigious postgraduate programme, The Drawing Year. Founded by The Prince of Wales in 2004, The Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts encourages the practice of traditional arts, including textiles, ceramics, calligraphy, stained glass and mosaics, and is now active in over 20 countries across five continents. Patterned tiles by former student Ghulam Hyder Daudpota were inspired by motifs of Kashikari art, a dying craft that can be traced back to the 12th-century shrine of Shah Yusuf Gardezi, Multan, in present-day Pakistan. The tiles are handmade using natural red clay and painted with traditional colours and glazes. Natasha Mann's paintings based on Moroccan designs highlight the School's focus on geometry as a creative practice. A former student, Mann is influenced by the Zouaq technique, used to decorate ceilings, doors, furniture and wooden objects in Morocco. The highly complex patterns are initially drawn with a compass and ruler before being transferred to wood. The paintings are created using hand-ground natural pigments mixed with egg (egg tempera) and finished in 24-carat gold leaf. Founded in 2006, Turquoise Mountain creates jobs and skills while reviving traditional crafts in historic communities. The organisation has established sustainable urban regeneration projects that support the revival of creative industries in Afghanistan, Myanmar and the Middle East. The geodesic dome, carved from walnut wood by Naseer Yasna (Mansouri), makes use of jali, the technique of creating geometric lattice designs from hundreds of individual pieces of wood. The dome is an example of how artisans are repurposing traditional forms and techniques to create contemporary objects. Ends Prince and Patron is part of a visit to the Summer Opening of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, 21 July – 30 September 2018.

Income generated from admissions and from associated commercial activities contributes directly to The Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity. The aims of The Trust are the care and conservation of the Royal Collection, and the promotion of access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational programmes. Royal Collection Trust’s work is undertaken without public funding of any kind. The Royal Collection is among the largest and most important art collections in the world, and one of the last great European royal collections to remain intact. It comprises almost all aspects of the fine and decorative arts, and is spread among some 15 royal residences and former residences across the UK, most of which are regularly open to the public. The Royal Collection is held in trust by the Sovereign for her successors and the nation, and is not owned by The Queen as a private individual. The Royal Drawing School aims to raise the standard and profile of drawing through teaching and practice. It is one of only a few institutions in the world offering in-depth, quality tuition for those who wish to develop their observational drawing. The School has studios across London and runs a one-year postgraduate programme, awarding a full scholarship and studio space in central London to every student, with living bursaries also available. Alongside the postgraduate course is a Public Programme of over 250 daytime and evening courses for adults in drawing, painting and printmaking, attended by over 1,000 students each week, with heavily subsidised fees and a comprehensive concessions scheme that make courses accessible to the widest array of students. In addition, the School runs a one-year full time foundation course, The Foundation Year, for students aged 18–19 years and a Young Artists Programme for students aged 10–18 years as well as an international residencies programme. Teaching across the School’s programmes is led by contemporary practicing artists and the school is committed to the ongoing training of future teachers of drawing. Founded in 2000 by HRH The Prince of Wales and artist Catherine Goodman as The Prince’s Drawing School, it became the Royal Drawing School in November 2014, when it was announced that Her Majesty The Queen had consented to the School’s Royal status in recognition of its academic and artistic excellence and its international importance as a specialist resource for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, who wish to develop their observational drawing. The Prince's Foundation School of Traditional Arts is a school in London that teaches students at the postgraduate-degree level, and short open courses and in the community. The Prince’s School has, for a number of years now, pioneered practical postgraduate degrees (at Masters and Doctoral level) in the traditional arts of the great civilisations of the world. The School emphasises the importance of integrating the theoretical study of the traditional arts with their practical application. The school was founded in 2004 by HRH The Prince of Wales as part of The Prince's Charities group, with the aim to teach the principles and techniques of the traditional arts of the world’s great civilisations. With teaching facilities spread across the globe, the aim has always been to engage and reconnect community with heritage. The Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts is one of the few places where research into the traditional arts as living, contemporary practices can be pursued. The School strives to preserve global traditional arts and traditions under threat of extinction. Turquoise Mountain was founded in 2006 by HRH The Prince of Wales to revitalise historic areas, communities and traditional crafts, to create jobs, skills and a renewed sense of pride. Since 2006, Turquoise Mountain has trained over 5,000 artisans and builders, restored Press Office, Royal Collection Trust, York House, St James’s Palace, London SW1A 1BQ T.

  • BP Portrait Award 2020
    RED BERET THOMAS ARTHURTON (b.1985) Oil on canvas Born in Norwich, Thomas Arthurton studied history of art at the University of York and Courtauld Institute of Art before studying painting at the Florence Classical Arts Academy and St Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, where he is currently enrolled as a student specialising in portraiture. The portrait is of Arthurton’s fellow artist, Liza. The sittings took place in the attic of the St Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, which is a communal space for all students. Painted during the dark winter evenings, the portrait was completed by artifcial light with the red beret creating a focal point and highlight. Arthurton says some parts are deliberately unfnished ‘so that the painting is like a memory in which parts fade whilst at the same time remembering what is essential.’ DAPHNE, HARINGEY RESIDENT TIM BENSON (b.1978) Oil on canvas Tim Benson studied at Glasgow School of Art and Byam Shaw School of Art. Since 2011, his work has been frequently selected for the annual exhibitions of the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Discerning Eye. He is currently President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Benson was previously included in the BP Portrait Award in 2012. The portrait is of the artist’s friend, Daphne.
