Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales NPG 2501

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Philip Mercier

Frederick, Prince of Wales did not move to England until 1728. The following year he appointed the German-born Philip Mercier (1691-1760) as his 'Principal Portrait Painter'. Mercier, who later worked in York, was responsible for introducing the rococo style from France. This can be seen in this elegant and informal portrait of the Prince. A departure from more stolid royal portraits, Mercier's work spoke volumes about the Prince's passion for art and his fierce opposition to the King.
