King’s artist describes meaning behind Charles’ portrait

The King has unveiled the first completed official portrait of himself since the coronation. The portrait, by British artist Jonathan Yeo, was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022. Discussing the controversial bold colours used across the canvas, Yeo conceded that “there will always be people who disagree with you, people that don’t agree with how you’ve done it.” Report by Covellm.
