MI6's official painter

The painter James Hart Dyke was given "full Access" to the MI6 to make paintings. Here are some of the results:

Agent giving information to SIS officer

Liason meeting

Oluf Reed- Olsen

Based of a WWII photo of a Norwegian SIS agent transmitting to the UK

There are more, but there are some of the ones I found interesting

James Hart Dyke is a Bondian painter, if that's possible. He like to hike in the mountains and paint there:

He has made a series of paintings about Aston Martin

He also went to Afghanistan to paint the war:

Good stuff!

Interesting. The concept is rather like those inside court paintings of witnesses and defendants that you see on the News here in the UK.

Amazing, I didn't think they still had official war artists .

Very cool, it's a cool style that he paints. The second image reminds me of the Connery/Moore MI6 sets.

If they ever print a more expensive edition of Fleming's novels, James Hart Dyke would be great at painting the illustrations.
