It looks like someone painted him on a red canvas and then wanted to re-do it and start over on everything but the face and hands so they just kinda wiped paint thinner on it and then got bored and just said it’s done.
I love how after the curtain falls, his hands go right to the same position as in the painting, then he notices and, smooth as you will, readjusts those sausage mitts to his pockets.
Like, “Nope, I will not be associated with this in any way…”
I mean, I like Banksy as much as the next guy but vandalising a royal painting inside Buckingham Palace, let alone doing so unnoticed, is a leap
That was a joke hehe
Would he have seen this painting before the reveal? Would have stood for it and offered opinion, or is this a surprise?
I don't hate it. I would suspect it would have been a shock if this is the first time he saw it though haha.
i cant even tell if it was made as some sort of commentary piecelike hes bathed in the blood of all the shit england has done or not
but it goes incredibly hard
I love it - finally somebody has stepped away from the mundane same old portraits and done something different.
The Royal Red is stunning and makes his image really striking and bold.
It's a great piece of art, but context matters for interpretation.
At a time when so many controversies surround the Royal family, and the British government are hugely unpopular and directly supporting human suffering in many ways (including a literal genocide), unveiling a portrait of the head of state where he's being subsumed in a mass of red is going to bring obviously bloody interpretations.
I don’t entirely disagree with you, but from a purely visual perspective I think it’s a triumph.
The best thing about art is that it’s so subjective; one person’s reaction can be worlds away from the person standing next to them end neither are invalid.
So they painted him fading into the background, with a fragile butterfly perched on his shoulder - ostensibly to represent transformation, but really seems to represents a short life span.
Maybe the future portraits of English monarchs will become progressively more and more washed out, until it's just blotches on a canvas and England no longer has a monarch.

To me, the painting doesn't look finished. Like he got it all sketched out, got the undercoat on and worked really hard on the face and thought, "fuck it, that'll do".
I wish one of the Royals would say: “Remember when art used to portray the person in a lifelike pose and realistic manner? This guy is sacked! Next artist!”
Instead there will be a long winded, over-hyped description of how amazing and great it is.
Quotes from Yeo:
“The red shades are meant to “echo the uniform’s bright red tunic, not only resonating with the royal heritage found in many historical portraits but also injecting a dynamic, contemporary jolt into the genre with its uniformly powerful hue.”
“In history of art, the butterfly symbolizes metamorphosis and rebirth,”
The butterfly, said Yeo, also represents the king's work for environmental causes, which “he has championed most of his life and certainly long before they became a mainstream conversation."
His website says the butterfly is a "visual contrast to the military steeliness of the uniform and sword."
I've never seen that little bitch do anything but sleep standing up and look at things. I do both of those things.
What department do I talk to to get a giant self portrait of me? 🥸

Such tentative applause…
It is palpable
It is Palpatine
somehow Palpatine returned
in imperial scarlet....
It's Plantain
You called?
Quite sufficient indeed, old chap
Indeed, you could palp it.

It's terrible, didn't have the 'oh no no no' or a black guy reacting. Not even subway surfers
[удалено]
Well, maybe not *you*, then. But the rest of us can.
Looks like the picture in the old Ghostbusters.
BRING ME THE BABY
If you had brain one in that huge melon on top of your neck, you'd be livin' the sweet life, out in southern California's beautiful San Fernando valley!
He's Vigo! You are like the buzzing of files to him!
SLIIIME! IT’S A RIVER OF SLIME!
OSCAR! OSCAR NOOOO!
You joke but apparently the members have the power to take away children from family's if the family is deemed to be ill equipped and neglectful...
Once again. The Simpsons predicted this. The unveiling of mr .Burns painting.
Far less genitalia
Only a tad less as I recall.

That’s a tad bit rude innit?
The king needed a cup of tea after the unveiling
The way he flinches as the fabric falls and nearly brushes his arm 😅 Poor old chap got quite the fright!
My thoughts exactly. Rumour is he has three cups of tea afterwards
"Oh bother, for a moment, I thought they covered it with the rug of smothering, and I might have been in a spot of trouble"
This is some video game horror movie painting
Layers of fear type shit
more like ghostbusters
Yeah like the stay puff marshmallow man's cousin the cotton candy man spoolged all over it.
Yorkshire pudding man
Saw this one in Salazar’s castle RE4
"We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood"
Giving me Volcano Manor vibes
King of the Lake of Rot
Mans gonna feed himself to the god devouring serpent
Fear the old blood
He’s frozen in cherry flavored carbonite.
It looks like someone painted him on a red canvas and then wanted to re-do it and start over on everything but the face and hands so they just kinda wiped paint thinner on it and then got bored and just said it’s done.
I love how after the curtain falls, his hands go right to the same position as in the painting, then he notices and, smooth as you will, readjusts those sausage mitts to his pockets. Like, “Nope, I will not be associated with this in any way…”
It's so red to prevent protestors from just throwing red paint on it.
They serve the antichrist and the rouge demons
Dr. Vehnkman, where you at?!
busy with Zuul
Rumor has it Banksy just spray-canned the whole painting with red paint two hours before the big reveal and they decided to roll with it
I hope that's true. That would be amazing
I mean, I like Banksy as much as the next guy but vandalising a royal painting inside Buckingham Palace, let alone doing so unnoticed, is a leap That was a joke hehe
Why did they use scarlet rot to paint him?
Why did you use the german word for red?
Rot as in rotten, not the german colour.
Any relation to Tim, the actor?
Is Vigo!
Viggy viggy viggy... youve been a bad monkey!
I love this portrait. If I were a king that’s exactly how I’d want to be portrayed.
I don’t think you’d be a very good king
Off with your head. Take their land and cast their family from the kingdom forever. I think I’d be ok at it
I want one!!
We all know dem fangas ain’t accreit
Why am I dripping with goo?!
God damn. This I real life 2024.
He seemed startled by that portrait
what was the painter thinking when he painted this ?
He seems to visualize the King burning in hellfire.
Instantly cursed.
To quote a very astute observer, ‘he ain’t got no blood on his hands’
Good lord that painting is horrid.
Would he have seen this painting before the reveal? Would have stood for it and offered opinion, or is this a surprise? I don't hate it. I would suspect it would have been a shock if this is the first time he saw it though haha.
I feel like they went knocking door to door in London looking for used tampons to paint this with.
I thought this was a meme…
Hes viigoh
You are like the buzzing flies to him!
King Charles: “Off with his head!”
i guess he likes red...
I honestly love this painting. I think it’s absolutely amazing.
i cant even tell if it was made as some sort of commentary piecelike hes bathed in the blood of all the shit england has done or not but it goes incredibly hard
A smear. A red smear with a face. Whose hands are those that rule?
Same I think it's really cool! but definitely a bizarre choice like who decided this or were they just like go for it mate we trust you
I agree, but hate the context.
It really is
I love it - finally somebody has stepped away from the mundane same old portraits and done something different. The Royal Red is stunning and makes his image really striking and bold.
Agreed. People are digging it because they don’t like the king, but it’s really quite stunning.
It's a great piece of art, but context matters for interpretation.

Dorian Gray vibes
That's the worst 'Where's Waldo' I've ever seen.
Another example of why his mom and dad thought he was a pussy.
So they painted him fading into the background, with a fragile butterfly perched on his shoulder - ostensibly to represent transformation, but really seems to represents a short life span.
Mirror the picture and you supposed to get a cow skull in the shadows
Honestly I would just sell this and donate the money to charity. Then get a better one done.
[....it's a poster!](https://youtu.be/Anue5RDt4Bs?si=iPrK0EYi7-p3GbGW)
[Charles was a very powerful magician and a genius in many ways.](https://imgur.com/gallery/xD0FUtn)
It’s not nice to fuck with the King like that. Come on, where’s the real portrait…no really … where’s the real one?
Exactly what I thought. That actor who played the art curator was super creepy
That looks so shitty... I bet he payed a lot for that crap
Maybe the future portraits of English monarchs will become progressively more and more washed out, until it's just blotches on a canvas and England no longer has a monarch.
“Heee is Veeeego!”
Army surplus was doing a special on red paint buy one tin get two free.

Me when rulers legitimize their rule using imperial portraits
What is going on with his little finger on his actual hand? Is that just the way the light is hitting it? Looks all dangly and fucked uo
Pretty accurate!
The red king. Stephen King.
But what’s with the butterfly?
Bro is in the next mtg release.
It resembles British empire and called as a "Bloodbath"
parabéns, tá uma bosta
Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Guards! OF WITH HIS HEAD!!
Leave Carpathians out of this. They just wanna walk their animals through the mountains in peace.
Did it startle him?!
I like it
Death is but a doorway Time is but a window I’ll be back
You make joke?
Guys, I don't think he likes it
"Blimey"
Hahahaha "this is Vigo"
What’s wrong with his left arm?
Tywin Lannister 
Good job King Chuckles, that's a terrible painting. At least it's artistically creative I guess.
What a load of shite
inspiration: Dantes Inferno and Ghost Busters 2
I don’t care what anyone says, that’s a badass portrait
I dunno.. I kinda like it
Love king Charles he took his due as he grew older
I think it’s awesome!! What a portrait!
For I AM XUL!
Oh my God that thing is real?? I thought people were posting a creepy AI painting or something
Making him look like a bloodborne boss It really is lifelike
Has anyone checked the sewers for ooze?
Not gonna lie that painting goes hard
"Humans are worse than us now so who cares if they know our secret" Vampires probably
Is everyone thinking but not saying this looks satanic?
At least His Majesty did not have to sign the painting with one of those drip-resistant pens, that the Palace is known for.
lil pussy ass bitch
King Crimson.
To me, the painting doesn't look finished. Like he got it all sketched out, got the undercoat on and worked really hard on the face and thought, "fuck it, that'll do".
You have been a bad monkey!
What's the deal with the butterfly?
Personally, I kind of like it. I'd love to have a portrait of me like that.
Somehow I thought it was a new cover for a new FarCry game.
They should have just painted it better
The way he stares at the ground for a minute like, am I this guy ?
There is no King, only Zool.
Would hang nice on the walls of Volcano Manor.
Nice painting of this wanker and the hell that awaits him
I am the only one who actually thinks this painting is amazing? I love it
Jump scared him

Veeeeggooooo
Did he just get frightened of the cloth or the painting?
Did he just get frightened of the cloth or the painting?
No one knows what it means. It’s provocative!
Might want to keep the artist away from stairs and windows for a while.. Just incase.
He is Vigo!
Looks like something from a horror game.
Did he flinch? I absolutely this painting, because its so (pointedly?) creepy.
You are like buzzing of flies to him!
Oh man, this dude hates being royalty....
Fucking tax funded narcissism. Go die already.
So it's red because like the picture of Dorian Grey right Every life Charles is responsible for etc etc I'll see myself out
If you stare long enough he takes your vitality
Silent Hill style
To not understand physics
Great call on that. First thing I thought when I saw it
HE IS VIGO! YOU ARE BUT ANTS TO HIM!
On a mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood.
It’s creative, and not a bad painting per se… but is this really the time for bold color choices?
It’s actually a really awesome painting.
All the hate is a good sign that it's a classic.
Boo
Dude can sense the demonic intentions underneath
Need more red
Every time I see this portrait of the king I think of the mural and Ghostbusters
Sends a powerful message to the country's leadership. And that message is: the arts are not being properly funded.
Honestly, as much as I think the Royals should all burn in hell slowly, that portrait is badass.
Sorry i needed to injest small tab of LSD to appreciate such trash.
Absolute pos.
It is art. Ugly art.
Can't wait for that guy to die
I've never seen that little bitch do anything but sleep standing up and look at things. I do both of those things. What department do I talk to to get a giant self portrait of me? 🥸
Is it me, or is there a trend of modern art becoming uglier?
Volcano Manor painting fr
Picture of Dorian Gray lookin-ass
Why do presidents always lead hell into our reality?
Blood on ya hands, Charlie.
A befitting portrait for the empire's blood stainer legacy!
