Biography:
Born in 1910, Pietro Annigoni became the only painter of his lifetime to become internationally successful as a society and state portrait artist. His career took flight in 1954 when he was commissioned to paint a portrait of Queen Elizabeth the II by the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers. The image was widely reproduced and remains his most recognized work. Following this recognition, Annigoni painted the portraits of many other famous sitters including the British Royal Family, President Kennedy, President Johnson, and Pope John XXIII. Annigoni acquired his style from the Italian masters. He also painted religious works and allegorical scenes.
