At the National Portrait Gallery I came across this rather AWESOME portrait. You can't really miss it. It is huge. Takes up an entire wall. By Jason Brooks of Sir Paul Nurse. It's a painting of a photograph.
It's interesting how realism crops up in almost every era, despite the general weirdness going on elsewhere. This chaps technique is amazing but does it really add anything beyond what he's already captured in the photograph?
I did a quick (10 mins) sketch of it.
