Painting of 98-year-old broadcaster, commissioned by Royal Society, goes on public display 2 July
Jonathan Yeo hopes he has communicated the sitter’s “wisdom and thoughtfulness” in his latest portrait, but also the “sort of childlike, infectious enthusiasm” that audiences know so well.
Yeo is talking about his new, strikingly green, portrait of Sir David Attenborough, a figure who has gone beyond being a national treasure to someone known globally, and someone people might listen to when it comes to the catastrophes facing the world.
