Editing Monarchy of Canada (section)

====Painting and sculpture====
Aside from official artworks, such as monuments and portraits commissioned by government bodies, Canadian painters have, by their own volition or for private organizations, created more expressive, informal depictions of Canada's monarchs and other members of the royal family, ranging from [[fine art]] to irreverent [[graffiti]]. For example, the English-Canadian artist [[Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith]] produced ''[[Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith#Painting Queen Victoria|The Artist Painting Queen Victoria]]'' in 1895, which now resides at the [[National Gallery of Canada]]. At [[Library and Archives Canada]] is the painting ''The Unveiling of the National War Memorial'', capturing [[National War Memorial (Canada)#Dedication and onward|the dedication]] of [[National War Memorial (Canada)|the monument]], in Ottawa, by King [[George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]] in 1939; though, the artist is unknown.<ref>{{Citation |url=https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?app=fonandcol&IdNumber=2937010 |author=Library and Archives Canada |title=The Unveiling of the National War Memorial, Ottawa |date=1939 |ref=OP-0992 |id=2937010 |publisher=King's Printer for Canada |access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

Portraits of Elizabeth II hung in several hockey arenas across Canada after her accession in 1952.
