    The portrait by Andreas Gursky of Sir Jonathan Ive (PA)

    Next to Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, Sir Jony Ive is probably Apple's most recognisable individual and his work has had a profound impact on the company.

    The 52-year-old designer is responsible for the look of the iPod, iPhone, iPad and MacBook computers and his soft voice-over usually accompanies Apple's cinematic production videos.

    Ive, who has revealed he will leave Apple to start his own company, has now been honoured with a portrait in the National Portrait Gallery. The image, seen above, is shot by renowned photographer Andreas Gursky. And it might just be the most Apple thing we've ever seen.

    Dressed all in white, Ive is pictured staring out the window at Apple Park – the massive California headquarters he helped to design.

    'Jony Ive is one of the leading figures in contemporary design,' the National Portrait Gallery said in a statement.

    'Described by founder Steve Jobs as 'his creative partner' Ive joined Apple in 1992. From his early cutting-edge designs for the iMac and iPhone to realising the vision of Apple Park in 2017, his role has been central to Apple's progressive ambition and success.'

    'As one of a few portraits by Andreas Gursky and the only portrait commission he has undertaken for a public museum, this newest addition to our collection reflects a long-standing professional admiration between two leading creative figures.'

    If you're interested in seeing it, you can find it in room 32 of London's National Portrait Gallery.
