Portrait of King Henry VIII

Story

A bearded man stares out against a shadowed backdrop, dressed in heavy red and gold royal garments trimmed with fur and layered with pearl necklaces, the richness of the fabric suggesting great authority. The portrait depicts King Henry VIII, rendered by Hans Holbein the Younger (1497–1543). Holbein worked within the German Renaissance and Northern Renaissance traditions, also known for the Darmstadt Madonna and The Ambassadors.

Where it works

A warm-toned portrait suited to dining rooms and studies, and to boardrooms, in a vertical format.
