"Henry VIII and the Barber Surgeons"

Hans Holbein The Younger - Oil (i) - Northern Renaissance (i)
Portrait of Henry VIII is a lost work by Hans Holbein the Younger depicting Henry VIII. While destroyed by fire in 1698 it is still well known today through many copies. It is one of the most iconic images of Henry and is one of the most famed portraits of any British monarch. It was originally created as a mural at the Palace of Whitehall, London, in 1536 or 1537; the original was destroyed when the palace burned in 1698. Some of Holbein's preparatory works survive, as do a number of period copies of the mural. Henry VIII (1491–1547) was King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. He was also Lord of Ireland (later King of Ireland) and claimant to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII. Henry VIII and the Barber Surgeons, reworked and overpainted by other hands, (1543) (108.3 × 312.4 cm) is in the Worshipful Company of Barbers, London.
