EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait depicts Henry VII of England (1457-1509), the first monarch from the House of Tudor to rule England from 1485 to 1509. The painting, executed in oil on panel, captures the regal presence and masculine authority of the king. Henry is depicted wearing the robes of state, adorned with ermine fur and the insignia of the Order of the Garter. His expression is serious and contemplative, reflecting the political challenges he faced during his reign. The portrait was created in France, likely in Avignon, and is now housed in the Musée Calvet (Calvet Museum). The museum, located in the heart of Avignon, is renowned for its extensive collection of European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. The vertical composition of the portrait highlights Henry's stature and emphasizes his power and dominance. Henry VII is known for his military prowess and his ability to consolidate the English throne after a period of civil war. He was also a shrewd politician and diplomat, who skillfully navigated the complex political landscape of Europe to secure his position. This portrait serves as a testament to his reign and his enduring legacy as a powerful and effective monarch.
