I recently found a interesting painting of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII dancing.

Thoughts on it?

Interesting! I haven't seen this one before. I like the way Henry is gazing adoredly at Anne – really gives an insight into their relationship. I'm not sure I love the way Anne is portrayed, though. Her physical appearance isn't anything like other paintings. But perhaps it's not meant to be realistic. What do you think?

I've never seen this painting before. Is there any information avaliable on it? I agree with Boleynfan that Anne does not look like any other portraiture of her, but it is still pretty to look at.

The dress Anne wears does not look French. To me, it more Germanic in origin.

Thanks for posting, Mya!

Honestly when i found the painting there was no information on it except it's supposed to be Anne & Henry and that in the full size photo there are other famous couples in the picture. I kind of disgree on the appearence of Anne in the painting it does look like her to me ….looks like a younger version of her maybe.

What an odd painting – from the clothes and background I'd say it was Italian or possibly French!  Have you found out any more info on it?  It's very mysterious!

Thanks for putting it up  Laugh

Thanx for posting but I don't really like it, looks medieval to me.
Always good to see new pics though Smile

It does look Italian doesn't it? I think it looks like Anne too.. My first thought was: She's an angel..
