Tudors to Windsors Tours highlights

Henry VII portrait

Painted by an unknown artist, Henry VII’s portrait is the oldest in the Tudors to Windsors exhibition. Henry is depicted as an astute and cunning king in this portrait. 

Anne Boleyn portrait

Painted in the 16th century, Anne Boleyn’s portrait has been painted just as Henry VII described-a beguiling female with a long neck and beautiful black eyes.

Elizabeth I portrait

Also known as the Ditchley portrait, this portrait of Queen Elizabeth I is filled with symbolism. The portrait was painted by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger in 1592.

Henrietta Marie portrait

Made by Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck, the Henrietta Marie portrait is one of the few royal portraits that give an insight into King Charles I’s court.

Charles III portrait

Attributed to Thomas Hawker, the King Charles III portrait was painted during the last decade of the king’s life. It depicts a rather tired-looking 50-year-old King Charles III.

George III portrait

Painted by the studio of Allan Ramsay, the George III portrait was painted immediately after his coronation. Over time, this became the king’s defining portrait.

Queen Victoria portrait

Painted by Sir George Hayer, this portrait of Queen Victoria was her official coronation portrait. Victoria’s coronation was hailed as a new era of hope and this is reflected in her portrait.

Diana, Princess of Wales portrait

Painted by Bryan Organ in 1981, the Diana portrait was created soon after her engagement to the Prince of Wales. The painting shows Lady Diana sitting in the Yellow Room at Buckingham Palace.
