"Henry VIII, King of England" is a renowned miniature portrait by Lucas Horenbout, also known as Lucas Hornebolte, a Flemish artist who is often credited with pioneering the English portrait miniature. This particular work is significant as it depicts Henry VIII, one of England's most iconic monarchs, known for his role in the Reformation and his six marriages. The portrait is believed to have been created circa 1525–1530, during the period when Horenbout served at the Tudor court as King's Painter, a position that had him create numerous works for the royal family and courtiers.

The miniature showcases the king in a frontal pose, adorned in regal attire that reflects his status and wealth. It is executed with meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of Horenbout's work, and is characterized by its fine brushwork and the rich, vibrant colors typical of the Tudor court's opulence. The portrait not only serves as a representation of the king's physical appearance but also as a symbol of his authority and majesty.

Lucas Horenbout's work is of particular historical importance as it provides a contemporary visual record of Henry VIII and is one of the earliest examples of the portrait miniature tradition in England, which would flourish throughout the 16th century and beyond. The miniature is a testament to the artist's skill and the cultural exchanges between the English court and the Continent, as Horenbout brought with him the influences of the Flemish painting tradition.

The "Henry VIII, King of England" miniature is held in high esteem by art historians and is often studied for its artistic merit as well as its cultural significance in the context of Tudor England. It remains an invaluable piece of the historical record, offering insight into the period's art, fashion, and politics.
