Portrait research
The artist who created this portrait is Hans Holbein the younger. This painting is depicting a picture of King Henry viii during his 16th century rule. This piece of art was the northern renaissance style in which occurred in countries which were no influenced by Italy.
The main characteristics is to show how might y this king was during this time he ruled England, so the artist made it plain so it’s a classy. The picture is also depicting him as he is looking with all pride on his side.
This portrait is a self portrait of King Henry vii done by Hans Holbein. This painting was famous because this painting was created during the English reformation in which the church of England broke a rule set by the pope.
This painting to me was very interesting because rather than doing the really famous painting, which every one is doing. I want to find one which can catch me eye like this one. This piece of art caught my eye as it’s showing a great king who was fighting for his country.
The historical significance In this painting is that it is representing a might king of England , who stood up for his country during the period he ruled.
The Mona Lisa is another portrait which is similar to this, but that painting is more complex to understand than this particular piece.
Overall I can observe that this painting was done great, and it is depicting a king who fought for the glory for his country. I can also conclude that this art shows a lot of significance of the renaissance style of painting.
