About This Tool
Photography has a older history than you think, which can be dated back to the late 1820s. But before the earliest photographic techniques were invented, the painting was the most efficient way to record royal family members, even if some royal portraits took months to complete. In ancient times, royal portraits were the only way to capture the image of the royal families.
However, the beauty of a portrait painting basically depends on the artist's skill, but not always the artist's fault to make a painting look like a nightmare, some royal members maybe ugly in real life. The random tool shows 26 unflattering royal portraits in history.
