Caspian Revelations

"Harry," said Basil Hallward, looking him straight in the face, "every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."
---from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde


I wonder what this picture tells of us.... Gee, is this Ben Barnes!? He's become a twink! 


So this is where he dipped his thespic chops---Oscar Wilde, no less. The work for which Wilde was imprisoned for “committing acts of gross indecency with certain male persons.” ( New Yorker)








It's Prince Caspian! And he's stripped of his, err, vestments and hard chain mails in Narnia. Will he be as uncertain as his Narnian fate but just as fetching. Did he lose that crazy royal accent? 


Ben Barnes you make us wonder, you twink you.
