We are delighted to have been recognised as a key contact for commissioned portraiture in a recent article by The Times Online, ‘A guide to the best portrait painters in Britain’.

Of Fine Art Commissions, Lisa Johnson writes:

“Alternatively, look at Fine Art Commissions, an independent London and Wiltshire-based gallery run by Sara Stewart, which represents Jamie Coreth (see below), Nicky Philipps (the painter of the NPG’s twin portrait of the youthful Princes William and Harry in regimental dress) and other exceptional portrait artists.”

She also reflects on Jamie Coreth’s work and career:

“Wiltshire-based Jamie Coreth is best known for his oil portrait of the Prince and Princess of Wales, currently at Peterborough Cathedral. But the painter, who studied archaeology and anthropology at Oxford and traditional drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art, first gained recognition through the influential BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery: with Dad Sculpting Me (which won him the Young Artist Award in 2016); Broken Bodies, a moving portrait of soldier-turned-sculptor Mark Jackson; and the dazzling Portrait of Fatima, which burst onto screens as the catalogue cover of the online-only exhibition during the pandemic and was crowned Visitors’ Choice. “The goal is to create a painting that feels true to the experience of being with [the sitter] and not just how [they] might look sitting there,” Coreth says.”
