More than 70 works of art from King Charles III's private collection, many of which have never been on public display, will go on show from today in the special exhibition The King's Tour Artists, as the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace open to visitors for the summer. The King's Tour Artists exhibition – which is included with a ticket to the Palace – and the accompanying book, The Art of Royal Travel: Journeys with The King, celebrate the 40th anniversary of His Majesty's Tour Artists initiative. Today, Their Majesties The King and Queen have toured the exhibition during a reception to mark the anniversary, joined by more than 30 of the artists who have travelled with them over four decades.Since 1985, The King has invited a series of artists, at his own expense, to join him on royal overseas tours, with a brief to draw, paint or sculpt whatever inspired them. Reflecting His Majesty's enduring support for the arts, the initiative has provided both established and emerging artists with a prestigious commission and a chance to create work in response to diverse cultures and landscapes around the world.Chosen from a selection handpicked by The King from his own collection, the works on display in the Palace's Ballroom represent 43 artists, who collectively have visited 95 countries and regions during 70 tours. Together, they offer a unique insight into life on a royal tour, capturing the tone, colours and atmosphere with a vibrancy that brings each destination to life. The accompanying book further explores this special royal tradition through a series of behind-the-scenes anecdotes and reflections from the artists, alongside more than 100 illustrations.In the Palace's Throne Room, visitors will be among the first to see the recently installed Coronation State Portraits of Their Majesties The King and Queen in their permanent home, following their initial month-long display at the National Gallery. Painted by Peter Kuhfeld and Paul S Benney respectively, the portraits join an important tradition of Coronation State Portraits dating back many centuries, with historic examples including the State Portraits of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and George III also on display., Credit:Todd-White Art Photography/Ben Fitzpatrick / Avalon
