John Ward

Prolific establishment artist who quit the Royal Academy in a row over modern 'ghastly muck'

By Simon Fenwick

John Ward, who has died aged 89, was an establishment painter par excellence.  A prolific artist, he painted many portraits of the good and the great - cabinet ministers, college principals, businessmen and city dignitaries. He particularly prized his connections with royalty, and Diana, Princess of Wales, in her wedding dress, Princess Anne, the Princess Royal (for a portrait now in the National Portrait Gallery), and the Duchess of Gloucester each sat for him.  He also painted the christenings of Princes William and Harry, made drawings of Balmoral for the Queen and gave sketching lessons to Prince Charles.  When his work earned him the CBE in 1984, he admitted, "I love medals and orders and dingle-dangles and I shall certainly wear mine all the time."
