King Charles portrait: 'mystique' or 'monstrosity'?

By Sorcha Bradley, The Week UK

The article says Camilla saw the painting before the unveiling and said, "You've got him." This article does specify the butterfly is a Monarch, which may be because Charles is a monarch....

Some in the UK didn't like it. I'll put two excerpts from the article below.

"Art may be subjective, "but I am finding it hard to subject myself to this new portrait of King Charles," which is one of the "spookier paintings I have ever laid eyes on", said Danielle Cohen in The Cut. The image "does not exude the aura of calm and comfort one expects from a monarch who sells jam and sings to his plants" and instead resembles "a disembodied spectre of death floating between violent brushstrokes". In any case, with hit Netflix show "The Crown" still fresh in the public's mind, "does this guy really think now is a good time to remind us of our associations between himself and blood?"

"One social media user commented that the painting had a "sinister look" about it, while another wrote: "What in the fiery depths of hell is this monstrosity? Is #KingCharles announcing he's an Antichrist?"

The linked video has several interviews, some of which is not related to the title. I had to post the video in order to post the transcript of George Stephanopoulis' remarks.

  BEGIN TRANSCRIPT:

  Sky News host Rita Panahi, introducing the next video clip: Here is ABC host and Democrat

  operative George Stephanopoulos admitting that the Deep

  state is real and it's beautiful.

   

  Video clip of ABC News host George Stephanopoulos:

  These are people that come, they're relatively

  young uh people who come from all over

  the government, the CIA, the DIA, defense

  department, military, and you know some

  people like to call those people the

  Deep State.

  Deep State, well the big thing

  I learned doing this book is that the

  Deep State is packed with patriots,

  people who go to work every single day

  on the front lines of the most intense

  crisis the country faces and do it to

  serve their country.

   

  Sky News host Rita Panahi's closing remarks on George's remarks:

  It wasn't too long

  ago that if you mention the Deep State

  you'd be called some crazy conspiracy

  theorists, but here we are. George says

  they exist and they're patriots, patriots

  who hate America.
