When the King' s reason finally deserted him for good, Windsor Castle became his prison. He was kept under lock and key for the sake of his own safety, and the safety of others. This remarkable and rather heartbreaking little portrait of George III is of him in the last few months of his life. And you won' t see another royal portrait like this, because they are always designed to project status, power and wealth. And here, look, he' s just a frail old man. And by this time, he was hopelessly mad, completely deaf, and he' s staring into a middle distance he can' t actually see, because he was completely blind as well. Soon after this was painted, the King was dead. Now the crown passed to a very different character, his son, who would completely reinvent Windsor Castle. |
