Lucian Freud Portraits

Lucian Freud is known for his realistic portraits of characters ranging from benefits supervisor Sue Tilley to artists and performers, and even The Queen.

Now the National Portrait Gallery is displaying more than 100 of Freud's portraits, covering seven decades of work, from the early 1940s until the artist's death in July 2011.

The most ambitious Lucian Freud exhibition for ten years, Lucian Freud Portraits is part of the London 2012 Festival-the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad.
