"Portrait of King Henry VIII" is a renowned painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most significant portraitists of the 16th century. Created in 1536 or 1537, this iconic work is among the most famous depictions of Henry VIII, capturing the Tudor king at the height of his power. The painting is a bust-length portrait, showcasing Henry VIII in a frontal pose that emphasizes his regal authority and dominance.

Holbein became the King's Painter to Henry VIII in 1536, after a period of working in England where he gained the favor of the Tudor court. His portraits are celebrated for their exquisite detail, realism, and the ability to convey the personality and status of the sitters. In this portrait, Henry VIII is dressed in lavish clothing, adorned with jewels and fine fabrics, which reflect his wealth and status. The king's confident gaze and assertive stance, with his hands on his hips, project an image of absolute power and control, which was likely intended to reinforce his monarchical authority and the divine right to rule.

The original of this particular portrait is believed to have been lost, but several versions and copies, derived from a pattern Holbein created, survive. These versions have allowed the image of Henry VIII by Holbein to become emblematic of the Tudor era. The most famous of these is perhaps the mural at the Palace of Whitehall, which was destroyed by fire in 1698, but is known through surviving copies and engravings.

The "Portrait of King Henry VIII" by Hans Holbein the Younger is not only a masterpiece of Tudor portraiture but also an important historical document. It provides insight into the politics of representation, the role of the artist within the court, and the construction of royal identity during a pivotal period in English history. The painting is held in high esteem for its artistry and as a symbol of one of the most influential monarchs of England.
