King Henry VIII of England, 1520: A Regal Portrait from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages This striking handcolored copperplate engraving depicts King Henry VIII of England in the year 1520, captured in the prime of his reign. The image, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796, offers a rare glimpse into the regal attire and majestic presence of one of England's most famous monarchs. Henry VIII (1491-1547) ruled England from 1509 until his death in 1547. Known for his six marriages and his role in the English Reformation, Henry's reign was marked by significant political and religious upheaval. In this portrait, however, we see a confident and resolute king, dressed in the rich robes and regal attire befitting his station. The intricate details of Henry's costume are beautifully rendered in this engraving. He wears a fur-lined robe, adorned with ermine trim and a velvet collar, over a doublet and hose. A jeweled gorget protects his neck, and a gold chain and badge are displayed prominently at his chest. Henry's hair is styled in the fashion of the time, with a long, flowing beard and mustache. This historic image not only provides a visual representation of King Henry VIII during his reign but also offers insight into the fashion and style of the 16th century. The meticulous detail and artistry of the handcoloring further enhance the regal and majestic quality of the portrait, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or English monarchy memorabilia.
