Oh Michie. How can you possibly like this? A painter who made a portrait of a monarch like this a few hundred years ago would have had his lopped off.Agsin
Again, this is another case of art telling you more about where you are at right now. I liked it. It’s very dramatic and the butterfly representing Charles metamorphosis from Prince to King was a nice touch. The artist, Jonathan Yeo, has done other portraits of those within the family. There was nothing negative about it. It’s a matter of taste.
The artist could have used a royal blue but it would not of had the same impact. Anyway, I just wondered if anyone saw it. It’s quite eye catching and different than the usual staid portraits usually presented.
It's obviously a condemnation of Western civilization. He's holding a sword. The man is awash in blood, and is himself made of the same blood. This is exactly what certain types claim - that Western civilization is made of the blood of others. And I haven't seen a photo of Charles recently, but his face and hands make him look dead. I've attended open casket funerals where the corpse looked better than Charles does here.
The butterfly approaching him obviously represents the change which is coming.
