“Very ODD For A Royal Portrait” Art Critic Analyses King’s First Official Portrait Since Coronation
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by art critic Estelle Lovatt as King Charles unveiled the first completed official portrait of himself since the coronation.
The portrait, by British artist Jonathan Yeo, was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.
Estelle says the painting is “a bit grey, desolate and washed out” and suggests this could portray “how he is feeling”.

I had to take it off the wall and I automatically felt better. So much for the psychological and physical impact of colors. The artist has a deranged mind, that's for sure.

This painting certainly looks like the artist is painting this portrait from his “eye view” of “HELL..” just look closely at the background and you will notice figures of souls crying out as if being tortured.. notice also very carefully the “eye” also in the background.. notice his black hands.. almost shouting out his role he (this royal family) played in the black slave and wind-rush movement..his hands being painted black.. all of it, very dark and very sinister..

A hundred years from now I hope the world knows only too well the age it emerged from. I think the red of rage and pain and suffering and paranoia, and the sheer Orwellian horror and psychosis of these last six or seven years makes the portrait quite a messenger into the future. Picasso painted 'Guernica' - not a pretty painting, by design.
