白金汉宫13

So if Charles I was collecting, in a sense, to self-aggrandise and to make a statement about himself, whereas George III was collecting because he thought that's what a king should do, because he loved art? Yes. He would never have commissioned an image of himself as flamboyant and theatrical as this. I think in selecting this painting to hang at Buckingham House, he would have been thinking much more in terms of the reputation of Van Dyck as a kind of the founding father of English painting and as the supreme exponent of elegance. George III saw it as part of his royal duty to promote the arts, and in 1768 he founded the Royal Academy, to encourage the work of British artists.

某种程度来说，如果查理收藏这幅画，那是自我夸耀给自己贴金，而乔治三世收藏这幅画只是觉得那是国王应该做的 因为他喜好艺术？ 对。乔治三世本人从来没有画过这类艳丽而夸张的画像。我想他会选择把这幅画挂在白金汉宫，更多是因为凡·戴克的名声，是凡·戴克创建了英国的绘画，以及他所代表的高尚优雅之典范 乔治三世认为促进艺术发展是皇室的责任，在1768年，他建立起皇家学院鼓励英国画家创作。
