A special exhibition in celebration of the recent marriage of Prince William and Miss Catherine (Kate) Middleton and their royal visit to Canada headlines the Beaverbrook Art Gallery’s summer program. On view are portraits from the Beaverbrook’s permanent collection that depict British kings and queens, such as Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, Queen Elizabeth I, King Edward VIII, and others, as well as various associated members of British nobility. Among the artists represented are Edward Irvine Halliday, Luciano Guarnieri, Walter Sickert, Graham Sutherland, George Romney, and Nicholas Hilliard.
Also included are contemporary portraits of the British monarchy by Canadian artists Joe Fafard, Christopher Pratt, Yvon Gallant, and Renée Forrestall, along with a humourous recent portrait of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, by contemporary Canadian icon Charles Pachter.
