After facing several months of backlash, the Colorado state Capitol has replaced a controversial portrait of President Donald Trump, which he claimed was “purposely distorted” by the artist.
A new presidential portrait, recently donated by the White House, was installed last week at the Denver Capitol, the Colorado Capitol Building Advisory Committee told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. It replaces Colorado artist Sarah Boardman’s painting, which had hung since 2019.
Despite the previous portrait’s six-year run on display, Trump took to social media last spring to criticize the artwork, saying Boardman “must have lost her talent as she got older” and had “purposely distorted” his image. The Colorado Springs artist denied the claims.
While Boardman’s painting depicted a much younger Trump, the latest display by Arizona artist Vanessa Horabuena mirrors Trump’s intense official presidential photo.
