      I think it’s a terrific representation of the horrifically bloody history of the British Monarchy

        Yeah, 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.

        I like it because it’s hella odd as shit. King, embrace the fuck-my-shit-up results of this glorious piece.

      I can’t stop thinking about how someone got paid to make this painting.

        He’s pretty famous for making portraits. Here’s his portrait of Idris Elba.

          See, that isn’t ugly.

          Which makes me think it was on purpose. Which makes me hate it a little less.

            He has a lot of upper class clients who he paints just as … starkly as the king’s portrait.

            It is very much on purpose.

          Now that is a gorgeous balance of color and brush strokes. So why did the artist choose that awful color theme for Charles?

        Right? Spit right in the royal families face and they pay you for the privilege. Priceless and hilarious
