"Triple Portrait of Charles II" (2008) by Kehinde Wiley is a contemporary oil painting that reimagines traditional portraiture. The work features a young black man, posed in the style of a 17th-century portrait, against a backdrop of swirling, baroque-inspired floral motifs. Wiley's contemporary twist on a historical genre challenges art historical conventions, prompting viewers to consider issues of race and representation.
