Was it painted by one of the players? 'Expressionist-style' portrait of the Queen unveiled by Welsh Rugby Union to mark her Diamond Jubilee Artist Dan Llywelyn Hall says it gets behind the Queen's public image Critics says it looks like the monarch's puppet from Spitting Image Controversial: The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Dan Llywelyn Hall was unveiled today at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but it already has its critics A new portrait of the Queen to celebrate the 60th anniversary of her Coronation has been unveiled, but it appears many believe it is yet another royal art disaster. The 'Expressionist-style' painting was revealed at the Millennium Stadium - the home of Welsh sport - but was criticised as being a 'hideous cartoon' by the many rugby fans it is there to please. Artist Dan Llywelyn Hall, the youngest person ever to paint the Queen, said he tried to 'get beyond her public image', but the monarch's 133rd portrait has not been warmly received. It comes just months after the Duchess of Cambridge's first official portrait was unveiled and, art critics were, unusually, largely united in their condemnation, calling it: 'Ghastly ... rotten ... an out and out disaster. The Queen's new picture will be permanently housed at Wales's national stadium after being painted by the Cardiff born artist. Hall's portraits of First World War veterans Henry Allingham and Harry Patch were recently displayed at Windsor Castle and are now a permanent feature in the Royal Collection. This latest portrait was produced after Hall attended a sitting with the Queen late last year in the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle. It is described as "an imposing three-quarter study painted on a 5ft by 4ft canvass in an expressionist style. But critics have found other ways to describe it. Standing proud: WRU President Dennis Gethin, WRU Chief Executive Roger Lewis, First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones and artist Dan Llywelyn Hall at the unveiling in Cardiff today Brave face: The Duchess of Cambridge after viewing a new portrait by Paul Emsley of herself at the National Portrait Gallery in central London, which was roundly panned David Frazier, 38, said: 'I've never seen a royal portrait like that. It is a shocking portrayal - she looks like a caricature of her Spitting Image puppet. Martine Thomas, 32, said: "The Queen can't be happy with that - it is shocking', and Steve Beauchamp, 24, said: 'It is a real shocker and a disaster.' Diversity: The artist's other subjects include First World War veteran Henry Allingham and Amy Winehouse Happy: Daniel Hall, 32, is the youngest artist to paint a monarch and the 133rd artist to have sat with her, which he says is about getting beyond her public image Home of Welsh sport: The portrait will be hung in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for the fans to see As he unveiled it, Welsh First Minister Mr Carwyn Jones had only warm words. 'In commissioning a Welsh artist for this work, and providing a permanent home at the iconic Millennium Stadium, the WRU are recognising the important role they play in our culture and showcasing it to the world,' he said. In 1970, 15 years after he had created a sensation with his idealized portrait of the Queen, Pietro Annigoni surprised the art world and stunned British society by unveiling a second portrait of the monarch, this time harsh and unsmiling (see below) In a painting by artist Nicky Philipps, Princes William and Harry were 'imagined' chatting to each other in Clarence House before attending the Trooping The Colour ceremony in 2008. When it was unveiled, Harry revealed that he thought his hair was 'too ginger' While he was energy secretary, disgraced Lib Dem politician Chris Huhne proposed hanging one of Andy Warhol's portraits of the Queen in his department. The bold 1985 screen prints portray the Queen as a glamorous celebrity, similar to Warhol's iconic images of Marilyn Monroe. Huhne's plan stalled when it was found out it would be too expensive This is a fantastic piece which thousands of people visiting the stadium every year will have the chance to enjoy. Hall, 32, is the 133rd artist to have sat with the Queen. He said the final image is "literally larger than life" - and was "particularly keen to reflect the humanity of his subject." To have been granted a sitting with Queen is an ambition fulfilled and it has been an enormous privilege to be asked to create this work. 'As anyone who has ever met Her Majesty will know, it is simply awe inspiring to be in her presence and I wanted to relay that feeling as well as showing the very human side to the Queen's personality. The Millennium Stadium is the pulsing heart of Wales and is the best possible place to home for the portrait; amongst all the hopes and dreams of the nation. Hall graduated from art school in 2003 and has exhibited in the National Portrait, Saatchi and Mall Galleries since. He said: 'It's a very rare opportunity for any artist to take on, but it can also make or break an artist's career.' A Royal Pair: These portraits of Queen Elizabeth II painted 15 years apart by Italian artist Pietro Annigoni were displayed together for the first time at The National Portrait Gallery last year
