…You speak as though I don’t already do that, Tollers.
For that matter, they already do that:
But they should be animated like those extremely easily riled Wizarding portraits
I guess that’s how we know Holbein was a muggle. Or at least that More and Cromwell were. Can you paint wizarding portraits of non-wizards?
(also, how cool would a wizard version of The Ambassadors be?)
They hung the Millais portraits of Disraeli and Gladstone, who were also not fans of each other, the same way at the National Portrait Gallery. I’ve always thought that was wonderful and would have annoyed them both no end (though Millais would probably have thought it a great joke!)
They also have Nell Gwynne and Louise de Kéroualle on the same wall, in case you need to know how to distinguish the self-proclaimed “Protestant whore” from her Catholic counterpart. After all, it was a legitimate issue!
On a friendlier note I also like their arrangement of James I and his wife and self-proclaimed other wife:*
*James and Buckingham addressed each other in letters as “dear dad and husband/sweet child and wife” respectively. And no, legit historians don’t attempt to straightwash that.
