Artist Jacques Schneider has unveiled a new series of portraits featuring Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie, created in honour of the upcoming succession to the throne. The Hereditary Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duchess posed for the series and participated in the creative process, from selecting the colours to shaping the composition.
Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg will ascend to the throne on 3 October 2025, following the abdication of his father, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg. The historic occasion will be marked over three days with official ceremonies, nationwide celebrations, and a religious service. The abdication will take place at the Grand Ducal Palace, followed by Grand Duke Guillaume’s swearing-in at the Chamber of Deputies.
These pictures almost look like AI created photo's, which of course they are not, but the amount of photoshop is just over the top.
ReplyDeleteQuite right!
Deleteyes. the have aged them
Delete14:40 how do you see that? What do I need to look for to see this? Good to learn about!
DeleteAh, so the sketched lines on one of his lapels and around her neckline, Photoshop?
DeleteAmateur photoshop the lines around the corner of suit and her neck! so unprofessional!
DeleteAPPARENTLY, the lines are part of the original artwork according to the artist's page

Lovely capture! MR
ReplyDeleteIs there a tape or band on Prince Guillaume's left lapel and across Princess Stephanie's neckline? It appears in a few of the official portraits.
ReplyDeleteYes, I noticed this as well! Either how strange, or how interesting if it is an artistic element. But surely they would not have released the photos unless it was on purpose?

I see the same thing--odd. Janet
DeleteI see it too. It’s not in all photos. That is really strange.
DeleteStephanie looks marvelous and the dark green is a great color for her. I do not like the background superimposed on these photos--it's weird-looking and Guillaume's chair is floating in it. I really wish Guillaume would grow out his beard again as it was so flattering on him.
DeleteJanet
I see that too, very odd that it is in photo 1 but not in photo 2 lapel.
Delete@christina, looks like someone was sketching on the photo in PhotoShop software and publishing it without cleaning it! Ooops.
Deleteoops! the photographer forgot to edit out the sticky tape on Guillaume's coat lapels and Stephanie's neckline!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this can be readily fixed, however. Otherwise the photos are very nice, if somewhat hazy and low definition.The couple's outfits are well-fitting, with Stephanie in a suit that is particularly becoming. Lyra
What is that weird piping on the HGDuke's lapel and also the neckline of her (the HGDuchess) dress? It appears to be there on some of the pictures, and then on others not. I am confused.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. And a great classic dress and colour choice for Princess Stephanie
ReplyDeleteStéphanie is such a beauty! Malin Stenlund
ReplyDeleteGreen is a lovely colour for the princess. The placement of the dart does not seem to be quite right for the undergarment. Still a handsome couple.
ReplyDeleteThe background of these photos is quite odd, as is the gray-colored edging on Guillaume’s lapel and Stephanie’s neckline in some of the pictures.

Magnifiques portraits ; j'espère que les prochaines seront dans le même style !
ReplyDeleteben non...j'espère qu'ils auront un style "investiture"
DeleteUnverständlich wenn das Paar auch noch Mitsprache haben sollte, wie kann ich mich dann selbst in solchen schrecklichen Bildern präsentieren? Ich mag die Krawatte am Erbherzog nicht, auch nicht diese seltsame Hintergrundgardine. Sitzend wirkt das sehr gestellt auch die angespannten Hände alles sicher schick gedacht, aber so ein wundervolles Paar sollte sich nicht diesem überarbeiteten Unsinn hingeben. Sie wirken sonst stets nahbar und natürlich aber diese Bilder zeigen davon absolut gar nichts. Was ich mag ist die Haarfrisur mit dem kleinen Fransen in die Stirne, so schöne Menschen und dann so ein Unsinn! -Dorothe-
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't remember to have ever seen so badly made portraits of anyone made by a professional photographer. I am quite flabbergasted. The piping is really the last thing that disturbs me.
ReplyDeleteCheck Jacques Schneider Instagram #jacques_schneider . It seems like those lines were done on purpose. There's 2sets, one with, one without. The colors vary also.
ReplyDeleteThanks KTeach. For others, go as she says to look at the artist’s instagram. These are not photos but art and he has deliberately changed things, drawn lines, and altered backgrounds. Looking from that context, they’re very cool artwork!
DeleteNice pics, but a little to unreal`. Sad maybe Ann Litowitz will be called in she always does a great job.
