Painting Description
"Portrait of King Henry VIII (1491-1547), three-quarter-length, in an Ermine-Lined Brocaded Cloak" is a renowned painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most significant portraitists of the 16th century. This work is a striking example of Holbein's mastery in capturing the grandeur and authority of his subjects, which in this case is Henry VIII, King of England. The painting is believed to have been created in the 1530s during Holbein's second stay in England, a period when he became the court painter to Henry VIII.
The portrait depicts the king in a three-quarter length pose, a format that allows Holbein to showcase the opulence of Henry's attire as well as his regal bearing. Henry VIII is adorned in a sumptuously brocaded cloak lined with ermine, a symbol of royal status, and his posture and gaze exude the confidence and assertiveness for which he was well-known. Holbein's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the fabrics and textures, as well as the lifelike depiction of the king's features.
Holbein's portraits of Henry VIII have become iconic, shaping the historical image of the Tudor monarch for posterity. This particular painting is celebrated for its artistry and its historical significance, offering insight into the personality and image-crafting of one of England's most famous kings. The portrait is not only a testament to Holbein's skill as an artist but also an important cultural artifact that contributes to our understanding of Tudor history and Renaissance portraiture.
