"Portrait of Henry VIII" is a renowned painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, depicting Henry VIII, who reigned as King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. Created around 1537, this iconic work is one of the most famous portraits of the Tudor king, capturing his regal presence and the opulence of his reign. Holbein became the King's Painter to Henry VIII in 1536, and his portraits from this period are celebrated for their meticulous detail, vivid realism, and the insight they provide into the personalities and power dynamics of the Tudor court.

The painting is a half-length portrait that shows Henry VIII standing in a powerful pose, directly facing the viewer, which was a departure from the profile views that were commonly used in royal portraiture at the time. This frontal stance, along with Henry's assertive gaze and wide stance, serves to convey the king's authority and self-assurance. Holbein's masterful use of color and texture is evident in the sumptuous fabrics of Henry's clothing, the intricate details of his jewelry, and the fine fur of his cloak, all of which emphasize the wealth and status of the monarch.

Although the original of this particular portrait is lost, it has had a significant impact on the visual representation of Henry VIII and has been widely copied and distributed. The image has become emblematic of the king's robust and domineering persona. The most famous derivative of this work is the mural that Holbein created in the Privy Chamber of Whitehall Palace, which was destroyed by fire in 1698, but is known through surviving copies and engravings. The "Portrait of Henry VIII" not only stands as a masterpiece of Tudor portraiture but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the artistry of Holbein and the powerful image that Henry VIII sought to project to his contemporaries and to posterity.
