In the
Equestrian Portrait of King Phillip II made by Kehinde Wiley, the painting presents the well renowned Michael Jackson as a royal king. He is pictured riding a white horse in King Phillip’s attire, with two angels placing a reef over his head. What I found interesting about the painting was the horse’s color and the two angels, with the horse having white skin with black hooves, and one angel being white and other black. I concluded that the picture was representing his status as a huge celebrity while dealing with his skin condition. Yet, what stands out to me about this painting is how Michael Jackson went through his battles dealing with his skin condition, while still able to be recognized as a King of many, through his power of music. –Tyrone Jones
