Picture of the Week #888

Close up from “The Meeting of Henry VIII and the Emperor Maximilian I” at Hampton Court Palace. Photo May 2015.

I needed something with Henry VIII on it for picture of the week number 888, so I pulled this one from the giant batch of photos I still haven’t used from Hampton Court Palace. This painting dates from c. 1513 and is by an unknown artist or artists, and shows the meeting of Henry VIII and the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I after their defeat of the French army at the Battle of the Spurs (shown in the full painting). Sorry for the glare on the photo!
