Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker provide a description, historical perspective, and analysis of Hans Holbein the Younger’s Portrait of Henry VIII.
Hans Holbein the Younger, Portrait of Henry VIII, 1540, oil on panel, (Palazzo Barberini, Rome).
Please note: there have been questions raised as to whether this painting is by Holbein or his workshop, or perhaps a later copy; recent research suggests that it is an original Holbein.
