King George VI by Herbert James Gunn (1957)

Herbert James Gunn: ‘The King sat for me and I managed to finish his head before he died. I had to stop work on it but it was a commissioned portrait and last year I was being pressed for it so I borrowed the Queen’s Garter robes and put them on a dummy.

There was trouble about the hands - so as mine were similar I painted them.

The King always wore a gold signet ring on his left little finger, so I copied this from my previous portraits of him.’

Gunn also recalled that the King was displeased with his first rough sketch: ‘His Majesty looked at it and said - “Gunn, I don’t stand like that, I’m not so snooty. Change it.”’

"CONVERSATION PIECE" ... de Sir Herbert James Gunn (National Portrait Gallery, London) ... Todo un homenaje a la amistad : tres amigos entrañables, tres inteligencias superlativas, tres "monstruos" de las letras ....

Son Gilbert Keith Chesterton (a la izquierda, escribiendo ... como no !!!), a su lado sentado Hillaire Belloc y de pie, mirando por encima del hombro Maurice Baring, muy pendientes de lo que Gilbert escribe.

Belloc (periodista, novelista, ensayista, historiador) era "el profesor" del grupo. La educación de Chesterton era artística y buscó a Belloc por sus conocimientos sobre teología de la historia. Baring (diplomático, periodista) representaba, con su conocimiento de idiomas, la amplitud de la cultura cristiana.

Solo uno era católico de nacimiento: Belloc, de ascendencia francesa; los otros dos conversos al catolicismo desde la Iglesia Anglicana
