Voorstelling uit de geschiedenis van Hendrik VIII 1796

This engraving by Christian Gottlieb Geyser depicts two scenes from the life of Henry VIII. On the left, Anne Boleyn is crowned Queen of England. The right scene portrays Sir Thomas More refusing to swear the Oath of Supremacy, leading to his execution. Both images demonstrate the significant role that Henry VIII played in shaping English history, including the rise of the Church of England. This work is an example of historical illustration and serves as a visual record of key moments in England's past.
