Prince Charles 

LeRoy Neiman captured Prince Charles in dynamic motion on the polo field with vibrant colors. The horse, far from being a mere mode of transport, represents power, nobility, and control – motifs echoing back to classical equestrian statues of emperors and conquering heroes. Consider the lance held aloft: it is reminiscent of the spears carried by ancient warriors, a symbol of command and readiness for action, that goes all the way back to the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, where it denoted military power. Here, it appears transmuted, domesticated for sport, yet retaining a spark of its primal force. The collective memory stirs within us, conjuring images of tournaments and medieval jousts, all echoing the archetypal battle between order and chaos. This is a visual embodiment of social standing passed through generations. Note how symbols reappear, charged with cultural and emotional weight, perpetually reshaped by the currents of history.
