Comments on: Starkey to unveil portrait of Elizabeth of York at Hever Castle http://tudorhistory.org/blog/2009/02/27/starkey-to-unveil-portrait-of-elizabeth-of-york-at-hever-castle/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:01:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lara http://tudorhistory.org/blog/2009/02/27/starkey-to-unveil-portrait-of-elizabeth-of-york-at-hever-castle/#comment-698 Lara Sun, 01 Mar 2009 16:13:54 +0000 http://tudorhistory.org/blog/?p=1186#comment-698 I wonder if Hever bought <a href="http://www.bridgemanart.com/image.aspx?key=Henry%20VII&filter=CBPOIHV&thumb=x150&num=15&page=139&img=bb6f20ad1c524e3b9fa240a7574c743c" rel="nofollow">this one?</a> The two most often seen are the NPG one and the <a href="http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/eGallery/object.asp?imgbuttonsearch=&radioAll=0&startYear=&searchText=Henry+VII&title=&rccode=&makerName=&category=&collector=&endYear=&pagesize=20&object=403447&row=17&detail=magnify" rel="nofollow">similar version in the Royal Collection</a> (there are variations, particularly in the necklace, from the NPG painting). But there are other copies of it around, particularly in etchings, and I've also seen a miniature based on the same. And of course, her tomb effigy. Hopefully there will be more news once the portrait is unveiled and we'll be able to see. But my guess is that it will be a 17th-19th century copy of the better known "red dress" paintings. I wonder if Hever bought this one?

Wonder just how much of Annie One will figure into the castle's presentation of Henry. After all, if Anne hadn't caught his eye, Hever wouldn't really be in the game. As for the portrait of Henry's mother, I'd like to know where it has been all this time. I take it the picture isn't the one usually featured in books?
