Here’s some photos of a paint­ing I like. It shows Henry VIII setting sail for the Field of the Cloth of Gold for his swank-off with Fran­cis I. The pictures aren’t the greatest, a tripod and polar­iser would improve them greatly, but you can still see all the details.

I like the poses people always have in paint­ings from this peri­od.
