"Portrait of Catherine of Aragon" is a miniature painting created between 1525 and 1527 by the Flemish artist Lucas Horenbout (also known as Lucas Hornebolte), who is recognized as one of the earliest pioneers of the portrait miniature in England. The artwork is a depiction of Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII of England and a significant historical figure in her own right, known for her role in the complex political and religious upheaval that eventually led to the English Reformation.

The portrait is executed in watercolor on vellum, a common medium for miniature paintings of the period, which were often used for personal keepsakes or as diplomatic gifts. Measuring only a few inches in height, the miniature showcases Horenbout's skill in capturing the likeness and regal bearing of his sitters. Catherine is portrayed with the attributes of a queen, wearing a richly adorned gown and headdress, which reflect her status and the fashions of the Tudor court.

Lucas Horenbout, who became the King's Painter to Henry VIII, was part of a family of artists and played a crucial role in introducing the art of the portrait miniature to England. His work, including the "Portrait of Catherine of Aragon," is noted for its meticulous detail, delicate brushwork, and the subtle rendering of flesh tones, which would influence English miniature painting for decades.

The "Portrait of Catherine of Aragon" is not only an important work of art from the Tudor period but also a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the iconography of the English monarchy and the representation of royal women during a time of significant political and cultural transformation. The portrait remains an enduring testament to the skills of Lucas Horenbout and the enduring legacy of Catherine of Aragon.
