No tripods or easels were used; instead, a camera affixed to a special track took rapid shots of her, in order to &#8220;build&#8221; a 3D rendition of her visage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conscious of the fact that the intense bursts of light \u2014 200 every eight seconds \u2014 might affect her eyes, Levine ensured that Her Royal Highness had plenty of breaks. As she enjoyed a moment of rest, Levine instinctively captured this image of her on his still camera. The commissioned 3D work, which shows the queen with her eyes open, was displayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jerseyheritage.org\/explore\/find-a-place-to-visit\/mont-orgueil-castle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mont Orgueil castle in Jersey<\/a>. The candid shot, however, remained in Levine\u2019s private collection until 2011. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA few years later, I was reviewing some of the outtakes, and I showed the image of Her Majesty with her eyes closed to [fashion photographer] <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/mario-testino\/\">Mario Testino<\/a>,\u201d Levine relates. \u201cHe said that it was the most beautiful picture of the queen he had ever seen, which was good enough for me! From this 2D picture, we computer generated a 3D version and made a light box for it. The work now hangs at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npg.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Portrait Gallery<\/a> in London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/chris-levine\/art\/photography\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"Detail crystals on the crown of Lightness of Being Crystal Edition (Queen Elizabeth II) by Chris Levine\" class=\"wp-image-399568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/queen-crown-crystal.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Crystals are also embedded on the queen&#8217;s crown.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Testino was no doubt struck by the softness of this very personal pose, which subverts the traditions of royal portraiture, showing the sovereign as inward thinking as opposed to outward gazing and presenting an idealized image of grandeur and responsibility. She\u2019s more human, more vulnerable, and yet she remains icon-like, as Levine shifts the notion of stateliness to new transcendental realms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By hand decorating this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/photography\/portrait-photography\/chris-levine-lightness-being\/id-a_5948002\/\">purple limited-edition screen-print<\/a> with a delicate layer of shimmering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/swarovski\/\">Swarovski crystals<\/a>, the artist adds luminosity to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/style\/pop-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pop art<\/a> aesthetic, imbuing the portrait with a sense of fun and exuberance that feels modern and relatable without forfeiting the reverential quality of his original shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSomeone once said that I have done to the queen what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/andy-warhol\/art\/\">Andy Warhol<\/a> did to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/marilyn-monroe-art\/\">Marilyn Monroe<\/a>, and I really like that,\u201d Levine says. \u201cUltimately, though, this screen-print, like the other versions I have produced, is about stillness and inner light. No matter what your feelings are towards the monarchy, Her Majesty\u2019s equanimity brings a spiritual dimension to the work that touches people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kate_moss_shes_light_chris_levine_master-1000x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/chris-levine\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tExplore More Chris Levine Art\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/chris-levine\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Levine\u2019s meditative image of Queen Elizabeth II \u2014 who celebrated her Platinum Jubilee this year \u2014 demonstrates the enduring power of a great photograph to capture a fleeting moment and reveal a universe of possibilities, transforming time into a space for the imagination.
