Pietro Annigoni, OMRI was an Italian artist, portrait painter, fresco painter and medallist, best known for his painted portraits of Queen Elizabeth II. His work was in the Renaissance tradition, contrasting with the modernist style that prevailed in his time.
After his successful completion of his portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in London, Annigoni returned to Florence and posed for his special portrait for the Daily Mirror of Annigoni as seen by Annigoni. He is seen on the roof top of his Florence studio, with the Cathedral of Florence in the background. 20th March 1970.
