"Meeting at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, 7th June 1520, after Hans Holbein the Elder" is a historical painting by Friedrich Bouterwek, a 19th-century German artist known for his works inspired by earlier periods. The painting is a recreation or interpretation of an event originally depicted by Hans Holbein the Elder, a notable German painter and printmaker of the Northern Renaissance. The Field of the Cloth of Gold refers to a summit that took place from 7 to 24 June 1520 between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France, characterized by a display of wealth, grandeur, and elaborate festivities.

Bouterwek's rendition of this significant diplomatic event captures the opulence and the political tension of the meeting, which was held near Calais on a site that was, at the time, English territory. The summit was marked by both kings' efforts to outshine one another with extravagant tents, feasts, and tournaments, hence the name "Field of the Cloth of Gold" due to the sumptuous materials used in the decorations.

While the original work by Hans Holbein the Elder has its own historical significance, Bouterwek's painting, created centuries later, reflects the 19th-century fascination with Renaissance art and the romanticization of European history. Bouterwek's interpretation would have been informed by the artistic styles and historical understanding of his own time, offering a unique perspective on the events of 1520.

The painting serves as a visual representation of a pivotal moment in European diplomacy, where art and politics intersected. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Field of the Cloth of Gold and the continued interest in the Renaissance period during the 19th century. Friedrich Bouterwek's work contributes to the historiography of the event and exemplifies the period's approach to historical painting, combining both a reverence for the past and the artistic sensibilities of the artist's present.
