minus-squareargh_another_username@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoIt wouldn’t be a big loss. That painting is ugly as hell.
minus-squareAviandelight @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI can’t stop thinking about how someone got paid to make this painting.
minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoRight? Spit right in the royal families face and they pay you for the privilege. Priceless and hilarious
minus-squareRizzRustbolt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoHe’s pretty famous for making portraits. Here’s his portrait of Idris Elba.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoSee, that isn’t ugly. Which makes me think it was on purpose. Which makes me hate it a little less.
minus-squareRizzRustbolt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoHe has a lot of upper class clients who he paints just as … starkly as the king’s portrait. It is very much on purpose.
minus-squareAviandelight @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoNow that is a gorgeous balance of color and brush strokes. So why did the artist choose that awful color theme for Charles?
minus-squarePilferjinx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-25 months agoI like it because it’s hella odd as shit. King, embrace the fuck-my-shit-up results of this glorious piece.
minus-squareDominusOfMegadeus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI think it’s a terrific representation of the horrifically bloody history of the British Monarchy
minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoYeah, I know the artist said some other bullshit to justify this choice, but to me it just looks like the blood their wealth was built on.
minus-squareLeg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoYeah, I don’t think it was meant to be pretty lol
