Artist reveals why his portrait of the King is so red
The artist who painted the King's last portrait has revealed why the artwork is so red.
The painting by Jonathan Yeo, which was unveiled by the monarch on Tuesday at Buckingham Palace, shows the King wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards against a red background.
The unusual portrait has divided opinion among royal fans and social media users, with some saying the large swathes of red made them “uncomfortable” and that it looked like the monarch was “in hell”.
As for why he chose to wear so much red in the portrait, the 53-year-old said he wanted to tone it down and distract from the King's brightly colored uniform.
“I thought the red would be really distracting,” he told the newspaper, adding that his solution was to cover the entire paint in crimson.
“That may also have had a psychological support, because I had a heart attack [in March 2023] when I was painting this,” he says. “But I certainly wasn't aware of any of that, just: I like this color.”
