- 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”.

The portrait is revolting a blood bath.
You gotta hand it to the Saxe Coburg Unt Gotha's , they let their intentions be known.
very apt, all things considered
I wonder if it was a not-so-veiled slap.
Агрессия выливается через край полотка и заливает все пространство и людей смотрящих на эту картину.
Open your mind as well as your eyes
It looks very demonic
Worth remembering too that your king is a practicing Druid, arguably not a kick in the behind off Satanism.
And the monarch butterfly is a well-known MK Ultra symbol.
@@jamesoneill2933Druidism has nothing to do with satanism
@@johnnyt2968 perhaps but Charles has always made it clear that he is NOT A FOLLOWER OF JESUS. He talks to trees etc. seriously. He still contends that he is not a Christian, I don't think William is either. I liked Diana but she certainly wasn't.
I pray for Charles, there are no atheists in hell.
Looks like the artist is saying "monarchy is covered in blood"
A very sly dig at monarchy
They do have alot of blood on their hands😢
He should look into the history of socialism.
I agree!
@@LordAmaltheano one is spared
It looks satanic to me
All I see is blood and hell fire.
monarch is fading away.
With all due respect to the painter, does he see King Charles burning in hell?
He's barred
No,but is shows that hell can't hurt him either
Any rational person would
No the painter sees Charles boy for what he really is a demonic entity
The king is not in hell more like coming through the challenges he has and is facing with dignity strenthand serenity. Look with your mind .
Antichrist vibes.
It's not modern. It is HIDEOUS.
Ghastly red rubbish.
In the words of Winston Churchill on unveiling his portrait by Graham Sutherland and recovering from the shock, "it's an excellent example of modern art"! That painting was never seen in public again and was destroyed by Lady Churchill herself.
@@MrBulky992Indeed! I wonder if this tripe will suffer the same ultimate fate. I'm not saying Charlie deserves anything better than this rubbish for his official portrait, btw.
Its demonic.
Examine think then speak
Stay true to you ❤️
@@bernardjoyce1288 then it would be worse
Duhhh 😂 Royal blood is supposed to be demonic
@@bernardjoyce1288 right back at ya
Does this artist hate the king.this is the worst ever
Marlenebutler5238, it's just portraying him for what he really is a demonic entity which is what Charlie boy is as he's no king he's flatlie royals
Not so if you look with the mind and consider the challenges the king has faced
Totally the contrary this is a genius work. Great artist
He probably a fan of Princess D
Prophesy the monarch is fading away in blood
Satan comes to mind.. or perhaps a portrait of a murderer. whatever...
It’s quite awful, it’s really difficult to look at, gives me the creeps
I imagine his late wife would have found it appropriate
@jamesoneill2933 her? Hardly an art authority. And no angel.
Do a mirror, then turn it upside down, then you might see something that really gives you the creeps, and see it in all its brilliance!
It is common practice within Esoteric or occult circles or indeed Satanism more generally to present the casual observer with clues , pointers or indicators as to their true intent. This one is really quite stark.
Makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Unfortunately, looks like his in ( HELL )
Appropiate
This is so sad. Why would the Artist do it that way. Too much Red. I feel bad for the King. It should have been Historic.
much much much worse in hell.
Fortunately
It’s a bloody cult, pizza sause
It's demonic and hideous
The painting represent how bloody those fake kings and queens are !!!
Once I was very sick, with a temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius, in great pain. On the wall of the room hung a painting, supposedly modern art with red and orange colors representing fire. 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.
That is for sure!! I see him shady and sinister.
Or portraying shady and sinister?
I'm sorry, I think it's dreadful. There is such a thing as being too modern.
I respect your opinion, but I think it's great. He's just barely emerging from the chaos of our time.
That's not modern, that's intentionally painted in red, and have a suggestion of probably Charles's death or something to do with death. Looks like he is in the pool of blood, pink , but blood never the less
Modern “art” is akin to the ‘emperors new clothes’. Idiots praise it out of fear of being socially ostracized.
.
Don’t be Sorry, It’s Horrible !
It's absolutely VILE. End of ......
end of the monarch
Horrible painting not appropriate to be hung in any of the royal buildings…
And definitely not in our schools etc!
The king looks as if he is emerging from a massacre or a scene from a nightmare....Terrible self indulgence on the part of the artist....
That's probably because your a clueless sheep
This is disgusting and a waste of public money how dare KC believe this is public money well spent, during austerity.I agree its demonic.
totally evil
IT LOOKS HAUNTING ...AS IF HE IS IN BETWEEN TWO WORLDS ... ADORNED WITH THE ILLUMINATY MONARCH BUTTERFLY ...
🎯 🎯
It's so ugly. The background completely ruins the painting. The artist got what he wanted, a lot of press for himself
artist possessed to paint the demise of the monarch. Where is Kate?
The artist illustrated what he thinks of him.
This painting makes me feel sick. It represents pain, war, blood, death and if you really look into the background, you can see evil faces. And that butterfly, Hmmm...
No change there then.
The monarch butterfly is a well-known MK Ultra symbol.
So, in other words, you acknowledge this portrait says a lot more about the age it was painted in than a vapid and traditional direct copy from a photograph would have done?
Where is princess Catherine?? Is the Butterfly Catherine?? Or Diana..
@@kellybrophy5313 The butterfly is symbolic of the transitioning and coincidentally the painting was completed as he had become regent from the prince of Wales, The red dragon becoming , so to speak.
No disrespect meant, but it looks like the poor guy is burning in hell!!
They are just getting him prepared
No .he is coming out of it . Think pf his challenges now and past
Poor guy ? , he owns 10.3 million square miles of global land, would you care to rephrase that ...
It's a joke!! Absolutely hideous. The King should be the dominant feature, not the colour red. It appears to depict a scene from a horror movie. Gastly attempt with red wash...
Did the artist have a melt down on the last day of painting!??
Manhunter or Red dragon, take your pick
Show some respect for art freedom
@@kekekiki516 art is open to the freedom of interpretation. What part of that do you not understand? 🤔
Your reaction is precisely what the artist was going for, I think ❤
@@bridget7705did l say somthing was unclear ?
Why would he want to be painted like this? Assuming the world doesn’t go up in flames in the next decade this is what his descendants will look at. What is he saying?? Its horrific.
King almost looks disembodied against that background. IMO.
may be that is the message, someone wants charles dead
What a ridiculous portrait! How on earth was this presented to the King!
Cause he asked for it
The more I think about Thomas Kingston, the disappeared Catherine and now this weird painting the more I'm thinking there's something deeply wrong with the House of Windsor
I THINK THIS Portrait needs to be behind a wall
Probably end up in the Royal bathroom, after a few months...
Dante's Inferno.
its a mess on a plate!
Every time I see it I think its saying devil to me its horrible
Truer than you could ever imagine.
I just saw on Twitter what the portrait reveals when two of them are put together in mirror-image. Scary!!
@@poppysunflower8736 where can I see that please.
@@jamesoneill2933Benny Johnson shows it
The truth is horrible
Reminds me of The Anti-Christ
I’m not superstitious but this seems like a horrible omen kind of painting…. Why isn’t the background more of a contrast to the king and his clothes?
Charles should have painted a self portrait. This carbuncle is a bloody mess. It looks like Freddy Krueger coming through the wall.
Sack the artist its a disgrace.
The artist’s insight is very odd.
Is it for Davos Headquarters?
lol
Reminds me of the blood flow caused by British Monarchs. Killing their own family members, wives, and innocent civilians ACROSS the world.
Yes and where is Kate???
Where is Kate Middleton?
Looks like the devil himself
It looks like he is in Hell. He does not have that much hair.
It looks like he's in Hell.
That portrait looks horrible 😮😱.
reality can no longer be denied 😂
Dreadful painting. I suspect the artist is against the monarchy. 🤮
This American was stunned!!! all that red.... I did listen to the artist interpretation...... Yet, I immediatly thought.... and still cannot stop thinking... a hundred years from now.... what will people think of the King who embraced blood red.... and the look of Biblical Hell
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.
@@user-qr5ki8ls2x My word... you have given me something to think about... bravo!!! YES... I can see what you are saying... thanks
This is the real painting of the Devil .. They are telling us all who's the Devil here !
😨This is the perfect Monty Python Portrait of the King! Honestly! I just can't stop laughing!😂
The bright red color of blood actually made me feel sick, like really nauseous. Surely that's the artist's intention as well? To present the king's personality in a way that creates a state of unease for the viewer of the image. Yes, it is very modern and special indeed. But why...
Agree. Makes me feel anxious and nauseated.
Its very angry.i know art is in eye of the beholder.but there are a hell of a lot more talented painters out there that could of made this picture much more friendly.
“…Hell of a lot more painters out there…” No “pun” intended I’m sure 😝
Art is certainly in the “eye” of the beholder.. 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..
Confucius said “signs and symbols rule the world”
this is not art, this is sometng demonic and painted intentionally in red
Vivid imagination or you're just mad, why does everything come back to the slave trade...what AFRICA started btw
This portrait embedded in red is very odd. The red is a symbolic colour of communism and socialism. Red also represents blood.The Monarch butterfly on his shoulder represents transformation. Not a very impressive portrait.
Ladies and gents. Let me present to you the devil.
Fashion of the time of evil paintings in blood butterfly mk ultra
Looks like the painter was trying to make a statement that King Charles has blood on his hands. It doesn't seem like something that would be officially commissioned.
This artist is known for this type of portrait, his explanation of why it was painted this way is worth reading.
Yes I’m sure they knew what they were getting. I actually like it.
I don’t need that hack tell not to believe my eyes
And the woman on ITV news last night was gawping over it like it's the best thing since sliced bread🙄 talk about an overreaction
It's something one would see in a horror movie, where the dark character goes from Prince of darkness to King of Hades - right, metamorphosis
I'm sorry, but that portrait is just downright STRANGE.
King Charles bathed in blood, with a monarch butterfly (MK Ultra symbolism). Considering Charles' dubious associations (WEF, Jimmy Saville, etc.) this is an interesting statement.
Very true.
Scary.
That kind of butterfly is called the "Monarch Butterfly" which is common in NZ.🙄
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my eyes don't see the beauty of this. What i see is the DEVIL.
In terms of garnering attention I would declare this portrait as highly successful.
Awful painting. Looks like he is covered with blood. It’s his legacy and he has to live with it.
Why is everyone so afraid of saying "Good God, that's awful!"?
Bright red seems weird. Especially for both the background and the outfit. Blue, green, purple, just about any color but this orangish, pinkish red. Sad.
It's crimson. A translucent hue, also known as blood-red.
How would YOU know? Are you an expert? Do you know anything about art?
@@elizafaulhammer2203 Do you?
@@libelle8124 Certainly, I have a degree in Art History, run an Art Gallery and am a painter, with exhibitions, so....?
@@elizafaulhammer2203 First of all the arrogance in your initial comment oozes Universal Credit. Secondly, I have never seen any of your work, anywhere 🙂
Jimmy Savile's best friend showing his true colours.
I now see why Harry left with his family. The spiritual atmosphere is red.
if it was of Harry, it would be blank... like his brain...
Yeah. This energy is affecting a lot of world leaders right now. The artist painted his aura most likely. Which does not bode well for anyone. It's not good when people with power flash red
right, you will continue to look for reasons, how about the reason for writing a book or giving interviews dragging his family through the mud? for money? IF it was in biblical times he would have been executed for disrespecting his father especially a king,
The blood soaked portrait, very apt. NMK. Abolishthemonarchy
It will be always OUTSIDE PEOPLE who will safe the king from ABSURDITY😮
Missing his horns, but overall portrait is matching with the symbols in his coat of arms.
Very appropriate. It's just missing W.E.F written on it.
Its very creepy
Behold , the Red dragon, becoming.
I was a little shocked and surprised at first seeing this red portrait of King Charles at first. But, apon reflection I have grown to actually like it. A picture can say a thousand words.
It sure does. It says MK Ultra.
Well it's a strange thing, does anyone know what the artist was going for?
It is odd and scary looking!
Quite disturbing
It's demonic.
It looks like King Charles in fiery hell.
King going to hell what a nasty piece of work shows how cruel king
Too awful!!!
Can barely look at it!
"Contemporary art" is bilge.
AWFUL
Words fail me watching that person twitter on like a fart in a bottle.
how feminine you are.
Horrible and his skin color looks sick. All those beautiful old portraits and then this!
Don’t forget the photo of Prince Philip with all the Monarch Butterflies
Well they will find somewhere to put it!
It looks like KC is on fire in the portrait. 😁
This is the portrait to be hung throughout the Commonwealth, schools, offices, churches & public buildings in general? Poor King Charles must be cery disappointed to be oerserved as a King in constant flame, or on the "hot spot". Oh well.... from Canada -
The poetrait really caught my eye, without knowing who the artist was. Like for everything, beauty's in the eye of the beholder.
Seems as if the artist lost his imagination after he got the face painted, like he got tired and just slapped on some color to cover up the canvas
This is a disgrace! King Charles and Camilla were being polite by saying they liked it.
Love Estelle's comment..." Rather a lot of red".....
Why is this woman waffling such a load of pseudo-arti-elitist BS? And this is not just very red, the red is crimson. A red hue that is translucent and also known as 'blood-red', which indicates a somewhat sinister intention of the artist.
I agree
Or the subject.
Red is an Imperial color.
@@rubyrose24881 No, an imperial colour is actually blue. So imperial that there was a time when commoners weren't allowed to wear anything blue. The colour is also known as 'Royal Blue' .
@@libelle8124 Blue is one royal color, but so is red and also purple. And it is purple, not blue that was reserved for Royals due to the rarity of the shell used to obtain the purple color. If you dont believe me, you can look it up.
if the Monarchy wanted to be in the spotlight..they sure got it with this
A picture paints a thousand words..✌️
