EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "King Edward VI, c. 1542" transports us back to the Tudor era and offers a glimpse into the life of a young royal. Painted by the renowned artist Holbein the Younger, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 43x31 cm and is proudly displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The subject of this painting is none other than King Edward VI himself, although he was still known as the Duke of Cornwall at that time. Born in 1537 as Henry VIII's sole legitimate son, Edward would go on to be crowned as King in 1547. This particular portrait captures him during his earlier years before ascending to the throne. Dressed in regal attire adorned with plumed feathers and wearing a symbolically significant hat, young Edward exudes an air of authority beyond his tender age. The rose prominently featured in this artwork serves as a nod to his lineage as part of England's illustrious Tudor dynasty. Holbein's meticulous brushwork brings out every detail of Edward's youthful face and expressive eyes, showcasing both his innocence and potential for greatness. This painting not only immortalizes a moment from history but also reminds us of the weighty responsibilities placed upon those born into royalty. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back centuries ago when England had its boy king – an embodiment of power and promise within one small frame.
