Elizabeth, 2018-07-24 By Russell Spencer (RS2259) Acrylic on Canvas, 764 x 761 mm Contact Russell Look at large version This is based on a coronation portrait photo of the Queen by Cecil Beaton. The backdrop he used is a huge image of the interior of the Henry VII chapel in Westminster Abbey. The backdrop picture is taken from below, while the Queen is photographed from slightly above, which creates a clash of perspectives that works quite well.
