Outstanding exhibition. So well displayed. Facinating information. Best few hours ever.

Your Experience

For hundreds of years, ordinary people would never have seen their king or queen in person. They would know their monarch through the paintings hung in great houses, civic buildings, or the coins in their pockets. By the 16th century, painters and sculptors skilled in the new art of portraiture started creating reliable likenesses of their royal patrons. This lead to monarchs having the power to influence how they were depicted. Depending on their political need or the fashion of the time, the royal portrait reflected anything from maternal charm to elegance and splendor.

Tudors to Windsor at the Royal Museums Greenwich features works by some of the most important artists to have worked in Britain. This includes masterpieces by court painters like Sir Peter Lely and Sir Godfrey Kneller to photographers Cecil Beaton and Annie Leibovitz and artists such as Andy Warhol. The exhibition will touch on the royal links to Greenwich. It is one of London’s key royal sites and is steeped in royal history. Greenwich was the location of the principal Tudor palace, the birthplace of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, the home of the Royal Armouries and is the location of the Queen’s House, and the Royal Observatory founded by Charles II.
