EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1520, when King Henry VIII of England embarked on a momentous journey across the English Channel. The image showcases a magnificent man-of-war ship that carried the king from his homeland to France for an extraordinary meeting with King Francis I on the Field of the Cloth of Gold. The intricate details captured by Holbein's drawing highlight the grandeur and power of this medieval vessel. Its towering masts, adorned with billowing sails, dominate the scene as they propel the ship forward through calm waters. The sight is awe-inspiring, evoking a sense of adventure and anticipation. As we delve into history, we learn that this encounter between two powerful monarchs was intended to solidify alliances and showcase their wealth and influence. The Field of the Cloth of Gold became an iconic symbol of opulence as both kings competed to outshine each other with lavish tents, feasts, jousting tournaments, and displays of wealth. In this remarkable illustration published in London circa 1880 by Paul Lacroix, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in European history. It serves as a reminder not only of King Henry VIII's desire for political dominance but also his passion for exploration and conquest on land and sea. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty while immersing ourselves in an era long gone but forever preserved through images like these.
