King George By Allan Ramsay Revealed!

In this episode, we'll be visiting Portrait of King George III when Prince of Wales by Allan Ramsay at the Science Museum London. Welcome to Art, Culture & Books with me, Anthony King.
This Portrait of the King was lent by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England to the Science Museum London. They tell us: "King George III is depicted here as Prince of Wales, a year or two before his coronation. He enjoyed a lifelong passion for natural philosophy, agriculture and astronomy. George's reign is sometimes seen as being overshadowed by industrialisation, imperial failures and the debilitating illness that affected him in old age. However, this overlooks the influence he exerted on science and the arts in Britain, thanks to his patronage and interest".
