A right royal quartet of watercolour paintings has gone on show in Pembrokeshire this week.

The pictures are all by the Prince of Wales, who is loaning the original works to Tenby Museum and Art Gallery for the summer.

The Prince visited the museum, on Castle Hill, six years ago when he unveiled a plaque to mark its 125th anniversary.

A request was made to Clarence House for the loan of the watercolours, and the museum was ‘surprised and delighted’ to receive a positive response, said museum president Jamie Owen.

“This is wonderful news for Tenby Museum – it’s another good reason for making a visit this summer,” he said.

“Tenby Museum and Art Gallery has always had a reputation for providing a ‘must see’ snapshot of 19th and 20th century British art with a Welsh significance, as well as showing contemporary art from living artists.

“We are grateful to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales for his generosity in loaning his work to the museum, and we are confident that the people of Tenby and its many visitors will enjoy viewing these paintings this summer.”

The four works are: o 1992, Tinzenhorn from Wolfgang, near Davos, Switzerland; o 1996, Ksar Douira, Morocco; o 2000, Lochnagar, Balmoral in January; o 2003, View from Casa Bosci, near Sienna II.

The paintings go on display on Saturday and can be seen daily until the end of September.
