"Portrait of King Henry VIII" is a renowned painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most significant portrait painters of the 16th century. Created in 1537, this iconic work of art is among the most famous depictions of Henry VIII, King of England, capturing the monarch at the height of his power. The portrait is celebrated for its meticulous detail, rich color palette, and the imposing presence it imparts to the king, who is shown in a frontal pose that emphasizes his authority and regal bearing.

Holbein became the King's Painter to Henry VIII in 1536, after a successful career in Basel and a previous visit to England. His portraits of the Tudor court are noted for their realism and psychological insight, and the "Portrait of King Henry VIII" stands as a prime example of his mastery in portraying the personalities of his sitters. The painting is particularly famous for its influence on the image of Henry VIII that has persisted through history; Holbein's depiction has shaped the visual legacy of the king as a commanding and formidable figure.

The original of this portrait is believed to have been lost, and the best-known version of Henry VIII's likeness by Holbein is a mural at the Palace of Whitehall, which was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1698. However, several contemporary copies and derivations survive, including one in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid and another in the National Portrait Gallery in London. These works preserve the iconic stance and costume of the king, including his sumptuous attire and the detailed garter of the Order of the Garter on his leg, symbolizing his position as sovereign head of this chivalric order.

Holbein's "Portrait of King Henry VIII" remains a seminal work of Tudor portraiture, reflecting the grandeur and complexity of the English Renaissance court. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and as a historical document of one of England's most famous monarchs.
