Portrait painters rely on style, psychological insight and symbolism to distinguish their work, yet it is departing from the most narrow illustration of the subject that inflames naysayers
Artist Jonathan Yeo and King Charles III stand in front of the King's portrait as it is unveiled in the blue drawing room at Buckingham Palace on May 14., and the painting of the monarch in a red uniform on a pink-and-red background by artist Jonathan Yeo has “divided critics,” as they say.
Yeo, who happens to be Britain’s most famous portraitist, has explained that the butterfly in his work, begun while the man was still Prince of Wales, is a reference to King Charles’s environmental commitment but can now read as the symbol of his metamorphosis from prince to king. To this day, we praise portrait painters for their ability to produce a likeness – “Yes, you’ve got him,” Queen Camilla is reported to have said to Yeo at the unveiling – but we don’t need them. We have cameras to do their basic job.
