Today in the news, the UK is abuzz with controversy over the new official portrait of King Charles III by Jonathan Yeo. It is quite contentious. However, after the portrait of the Queen painted from life by Lucian Freud, which also faced significant criticism, the British have continued to invite artists who love to experiment. So, Jonathan Yeo. He actually has some good paintings. I am attaching some of them, and at the end, the controversial portrait of Charles. The artist probably thought that if he made a simple official portrait in a classic style, it wouldn’t garner the needed attention. Well, he wasn’t wrong.
