‘Like he’s bathing in blood’

The unveiling of King Charles III’s first official portrait since his coronation has taken an unexpected and unsettling turn.
The artwork, characterized by its vibrant red hues and detailed depiction of Charles in his Welsh Guards uniform, was intended as a tribute to the king’s longstanding service. However, an unexpected visual phenomenon involving the mirrored image of the portrait has captured the public’s imagination.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday that the portrait was painted by artist Jonathan Yeo, and it depicts Charles against a background of ‘vivid red hues’ – maybe too vivid – wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards military unit, Charles was made Regimental Colonel of this regiment in 1975.
A butterfly flutters just above his right shoulder to complete the disturbing effect.
“My aim was also to make reference to the traditions of Royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st Century Monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity,” Yeo said.
