[QUOTE="Tuur, post: 77681712, member: 445885"] Not being a professional artist, I would have used different, darker, colors in the back ground. Not as dark as the famed [I]The Night Watch, [/I]but enough to make the foreground pop. Then Charles III in his red uniform with a brightly colored butterfly in red tones. A Monarch butterfly may seem smart-alec and over the top, but the colors would work. The point is that the butterfly colors should mimic what Charles III is wearing, to strengthen the analogy. As to traditional portraits, they were lifelike because photography has only been around maybe about 200 years. Images so subjects may know their sovereigns were first were stamped on coins, and photographs arguably served the same purpose. Now that lifelike photos are plentiful, there's really no reason a painted portrait should only be lifelike. [/QUOTE]
