- Paul Bonaventura
The present portrait, previously in a private English collection, has been dated in the 1530s. It depicts Henry in an almost frontal pose similar to one used by Holbein in various other portraits. The head, with its distant gaze, has an almost architectural solidity and strength as Pope-Hennessy noted.
A large fragment of the full-size cartoon for the mural, featuring both Henry VII and Henry VIII, survives in London's National Portrait Gallery, but this depicts Henry in a three-quarters view rather than the head-on stance of the mural. The portrait is a masterpiece of propaganda.

Hace 2 días · Holbein was one of the most accomplished portraitists of the 16th century. He spent two periods of his life in England (1526-8 and 1532-43), portraying the nobility of the Tudor court. Holbein's famous portrait of Henry VIII (London, National Portrait Gallery) dates from the second of these periods.
