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?

    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.
