Royalty & Aristocracy Throughout History / Re: The Hanovers 1714-1901
Last post by Curryong - May 24, 2024, 04:08:00 AMLots of people, including royals dislike portraits of themselves. Most of the time in the modern era these are commissioned by Guilds, military organisations, to commemorate a significant royal event etc, so the royal stays quiet, discreet and sucks it up if they dislike the portrayal.
In those days such portraits were all private commissions from the royal him/her self or their spouse, and what they wanted was paramount. Obviously Charlotte had disliked being asked to take a favourite hat off to be painted and so took a dislike to the very young artist Tom Lawrence. He wasn't paid for this commission but got his revenge later when he exhibited it and it was highly praised, even by his fellow artists. So that was some compensation I guess.
