BLOOD🩸 IN HIS HANDS.
(Rest in peace, Princess Diana💐)
IF that were true it would have been Philip.
I appreciate you actually taking a stance and saying it's bad, not only because I agree but because too often people fall back on, "but it's all your own opinion." No, sometimes it's bad.
It’s Demonic, pure Evil 😈👹👽
Charles shrank away from the canvas as if he had caught a glimpse of the Ghost of Christmas Future…
For those who just know there's always something behind this stuff, the red colour theme was a dead giveaway already but if the MON-arch control butterfly wasn't enough stitch two of the paintings on horizontal mirroring where butterfly remains at the extremes and say hi to their beloved ruler...
MO-lech
Oh they keep doing this child play for you to find it. Congrats, you almost completed lvl 1 👏
The red means Vlad the Impaler's bloodline
I think King Charles was trying to get out of the way of the falling curtain, not reacting to what the portrait looked liked-which was said he saw four times before the official unveiling-because those things can be heavy.
BLOOD RED WHILS T A BUTTERFLY LANDS ON HIS SHOULDER PRESENTS A VALUE OF LONIENESS AND A DICTATOR
It would make a great advertising billboard for selling ketchup, the King’s favourite brand, with the slogan, ‘its great smothered on anything and everything ‘.
The Butterfly Is. Monarch, It Symbolizes The Monarchy.
Monarch butterfly = Monarch Programming
When I zoomed the potrait, I realize the pyramid symbol, in gold, on the ceiling. That, combined with the potrait of the King who painted all red like a demon lord.
I mean, it's hard not to think all of those conspiracy theories when I look at it.
Too much money for an ugly painting
👁👁 💀 ghoulish
Creepy portrait
The artist threw buckets of red paint and tried drying with small towels and then used kitchen paper. Impressive lack of work.
I feel like I'm the only one that actually loves this portrait. I think it's awesome and so very fitting for 2024. 2024 has been a bloodbath so far with no end in sight.
You arent alone. I like it too and I like Charles. I think people making up weird conspiracies around the symbolism on this are ridiculous and Im sorry to see that this channel went there
Watch Tim Cohen.....he studied Charles for decades....
Bloody
The biggest "clue" I can decipher is thee Honorable People's Princess Di, Princess of Wales literally LAUGHING her MFKN a$$ off inside Heaven's gates looking down at this "masterpiece". SmmfBh 😮😂
To be fair, the British colonial project is still a blood bath.
the monarch..
🇬🇧👑️❤
The face looks dirty and like it's been photoshopped in. His oversized hands give a Game of Thrones white walker Night King vibes. And the red background gives the impressthe artist got tired of the job and just went ahh bugger it and splashed a shitload of red to save time trying to fill in a detailed believable background. A very strange painting
Gratuitous Historical Contextualization > Any Substantial Analysis; this video is yapping for yapping's sake.
If you don't understand the piece or its political context, just say that. The decision on the part of this content creator to quickly and unceremoniously present the 'possibility' of subversion instead of providing a historically contextualized analysis of what is one of the most overtly, cuttingly, subversive pieces of portraiture in pop-history, is genuinely baffling.
The artist had a clear vision and he knew exactly what message he wanted to send. Everything from the fleshy, blood-pink wash, to the ghastly impression of the king's likeness; the stylization of the butterfly, the choice of attire, the smarmy smirk, all these choices were made with great intention and are exemplary displays of the artist's dedication to his purpose. This portrait is stunning, maybe not in the eyes of the savage rulers who commissioned it or to those who have stayed ignorant to their genocides, but certainly to any who have realized their cruelty.
Those dusty degrees wont do anything for your credability when this is the quality of content you create. All the money and time you poured into your education and and the best you can do is "i don't like it"? Maybe instead of getting a degree in art history, you should've taken a beginners course in critical thinking.
Anyways, I saw a comment that said this painting would come to be known as 'The Last Monarch,' someday. They ate.
Indeed, she didn't get it at all. Such an obvious statement that slams you over the head, and she didn't get it. Inconceivable.
The red means Catherine is no longer either us and someone is responsible for it. Any ideas who allowed it?
Well at least Elizabeth got a statue with corgis....
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely ~ John Dalberg-Acton.
To me the red symbolizes the continuity of the Royal bloodline, and King Charles is the current head and hands of the ancient ongoing line of the monarchy. I like the painting more and more as I look at it.
Interesting take on the portrait. Except that's not what it evokes.
Well that depends on who is viewing the painting.
King Charles in the hot seat... another thought.
@@lc9902 He's explaining what it evokes to him. You get no say in that
Looks a lot more vibrant pink than blood red if you ask me, but it still comes off quite brutalist.
It is more pink than red. Also in person the painting is translucent. There is light to it but, the overall effect comes on as red.
I like the portrait except that the artist made Charles look much older than he is
Have you ever heard of the scarlet letter? Maybe King Charles III wants to be remembered as the scarlet King!
And wasn't Charles at some stage an envoy selling weapons of war? Very symbolic of the blood that's been spilt
Artistically...lol...I would not enjoy a trip to an abstract art exhibit with you...Prince Albert is the legacy to the famous ❤ British red...fantastical tribute to the ancestors 🎨 ..can't think of a better "trade winds of change" statement to the ending of an incredible historical era...🕯👑🌹
As red is applied on painting the first impression every non Brithish human have is blood, blood is very much associated with British monarchy, imperialism, colonialism, so yeah, very occurate
Tinkerbell on right shoulder and a Chinese face on left shoulder. Shoulders slope and have no strength. Many more faces around in red mist. Wonder if Dianne is haunting also.
I think it's ugly and I'm not afraid to say that it's ugly. Yes the face looks like King Charles, but the rest of it is just plain weird! It's too bad that he isn't allowed to comment publicly about what he really thinks. I'm sure he thought it was pretty ugly too based on his body language when he unveiled it.
The whole point of art is to get a reaction from people. Using different shades of red to paint his uniform and body is the real part of the art. Imagine not using any other color to paint a portrait other than the face.
DITTO.
Drowning in the blood of the colonized…
Blood is fitting for a portrait of a king of a colonial empire. The blood of millions who were slaved and slaughtered.
Giving off some Elizabeth Báthory vibes there. Look her up. It’s not a good thing
That's a bunch of bull.
Thanks for sharing your views which i respect.
Terrible
He is King, has always been interested in biodiversity and environment but can't do anything to prevent the blood bath presently taking place in Ukraine and Gaza, the latter resulting from anglo saxon Sionism.
Hear hear. I wish he could do something but a lot of people dont get that the British monarchy have been reduced to figureheads only. The artist explained why he chose the red. I think all of this other projection from people is ridiculous
The queen was a vampire
