King Charles III's Official Portrait Unveiled
Buckingham Palace's New Masterpiece
Revealing a Controversial Likeness
On January 17, 2024, Buckingham Palace unveiled the first official painted portrait of King Charles III since his coronation. The oil on canvas masterpiece, created by renowned artist Jonathan Yeo, has sparked a range of reactions.
The large-scale portrait depicts a larger-than-life King Charles, clad in his coronation robes. The artist aimed to capture "the essence of His Majesty's character and his role as Head of State and Head of the Commonwealth." However, the portrait's presentation and style have drawn both praise and criticism.
