EDITORS COMMENTS
After the Death of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII, turned his attention to the selection of a new queen, deciding on Anne of Cleves, a Protestant princess with whose portrait he had been highly pleased. The Original so greatly disappointed him that he soon divorced her. This humorous engraving from the 19th century captures the comical side of King Henry VIII's quest for a suitable queen. Known for his fickle nature and impulsive decisions, Henry's choice of Anne of Cleves based solely on her portrait proves to be an amusing twist in history. The artist cleverly depicts Henry's disappointment upon meeting Anne in person. With exaggerated facial expressions and body language, we can almost hear his exasperated sighs as he realizes that reality does not match up to his expectations. The irony lies in the fact that despite being highly pleased with Anne's portrait, it is this very same image that leads to their eventual divorce. This playful illustration reminds us that even kings are not immune to making mistakes or falling victim to misjudgment. Through its witty portrayal and historical context, this print offers a lighthearted glimpse into one of England's most famous monarchs and adds a touch of humor to an otherwise serious chapter in history.
