Re: Thank goodness for Prince Charles
Grateful for the confirmation, Cugel.Cugel wrote: ↑11 Sep 2022, 6:55pmYou've got me wondering now! It was about 25 years ago, as I recall, whilst I was doing a dense course on computing stuff so was eager for summick different by teatime. I'm sure the portraits in the stairwell of The National Portrait Gallery were of Prince Charles and I was (until now) pretty sure they were Freuds - they were certainly in that unmistakable style of his.
I did look for them, more than once, on the interweb but couldn't find them. I put this down to the usual copyright mania prevalent in art circles. (We supposedly have "public ownership" of vast rafts of art yet we have to pay to see it, in gallery or on-line).
Perhaps we have an art historian hereabouts who can clear up the matter?

Same. Maybe Cugel could give us an education?

Myself, I found the most revealing view of Charlie to be the portraits painted by Lucien Freud, once hanging on the stairwells of The National Portrait Gallery. Many years ago I visited that institution and found myself barking out involuntary guffaws of mirth at the gargoyle-like portrayals. Most revealing. Yes.
That's interesting. I wasn't aware that Lucian Freud had ever painted his portrait.
