I’m just curious if anyone understands the symbolism of King Charles latest portrait. I am a noob with regards to this sort of stuff. If anyone can enlighten me on the meaning of all the “red”, I’d appreciate it. I’m aware the obvious meaning is blood. But in what context?
The monarchy is full of evil, that is it
its all the blood spilled throughout history in service of this single family. that spilled blood stains his entire lineage.
That is the blood of his victims.
Maybe the artist just intentionally went full on evil vibe for the painting to age appropriately, surely this is one of the least monarchs, right?
Clearly every grain of red pigment in the painting represents a life of torture caused.
The King once wished to be Camilla’s tampon, the red represents not only the blood of Camila but all women he has had relations with.
It’s about washing his clothes in the strewn blood and guts of his enemies.
I’m personally hesitant to just give answers. The best way to learn is to look clearly and see what you can already tell. I think you are going down the wrong path if you simply read blood is red, therefore red is blood.
Consider both the artist and the subject. What did the artist see to compel this creation, why did the subject agree to make such a portrait public. What do you see aside from simply red?
