"Henry VIII 1491-1547 and His Wives" is a painting by the 19th-century British artist William Maw Egley. This historical artwork, created in 1859, is a visual representation of King Henry VIII of England, one of the most iconic monarchs in British history, alongside his six wives. The painting is notable for its detailed portrayal of the Tudor king and the women who shared his life, each of whom played a significant role in the religious and political upheaval of the period.

The painting is a rich tableau that captures the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor court.

Henry VIII's reign (1509-1547) was marked by his quest for a male heir, which led to a series of marriages and complex political maneuvers. His wives, in order of marriage, were Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr. Each wife's relationship with the king had profound implications for the English monarchy and the nation's break with the Roman Catholic Church, leading to the establishment of the Church of England.

William Maw Egley (1826-1916) was a Victorian painter known for his genre scenes and historical subjects. His interest in the Tudor period is evident in this painting, which serves as both a work of art and a historical document. "Henry VIII 1491-1547 and His Wives" is a testament to Egley's skill in capturing the essence of a bygone era and its key figures.
