EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving is a depiction of Henry VIII, the King of England from the Tudor dynasty, who ruled from 1509 until his death in 1546. The portrait was created by Robert Dunkarton in 1815, as part of the series "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History" published by Samuel Woodburn in London. Henry VIII is shown wearing the attire of the 16th century, with a high-collared shirt, a voluminous doublet, and a cap adorned with feathers. The monarch is depicted with a serious expression, reflecting the political and religious turmoil of his reign. Henry VIII is known for his six marriages and his role in the English Reformation, which saw the country break away from the Roman Catholic Church. The portrait is a replica of a painting believed to be by Hans Holbein the Younger, a German artist who was a court painter for Henry VIII. The original painting is believed to be lost, and Dunkarton's engraving is one of the few surviving depictions of the monarch in his later years. The image captures the essence of Henry VIII as a powerful and influential monarch, with his regal headdress and the grand setting of his throne. The black and white color palette adds to the somber and historic feel of the portrait, making it a valuable addition to any collection of British history or portraits of royalty.
