What this video fails to mention is that although King Henry VIII, (who's vile life and ego might be said to be typified by the Act of Supremacy), probably thought this was an excellent portrait at the time... However, this portrait is nothing short of devastating. One can hardly look at it before feeling the urge to look elsewhere. Holbein captured his evil nature masterfully.
Wonderful review...thank you both.
