This audiobook explores the fascinating journey of a rare Holbein portrait of King Henry VIII, which now resides in Madrid's Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza after leaving Britain in 1933. As the only fully authentic Holbein painting of the king, it holds significant historical and artistic value, and its story is intertwined with notable cultural moments, including its prominent display in London. The narrative offers insights into art history, provenance, and the enduring legacy of one of Britain's most iconic images.
