Portrait of Henry VIII is a lost work by Hans Holbein the Younger depicting Henry VIII. While destroyed by fire in 1698 it is still well known today through many copies. It is one of the most iconic images of Henry and is one of the most famed portraits of any British monarch. It was originally created as a mural at the Palace of Whitehall, London, in 1536 or 1537; the original was destroyed when the palace burned in 1698. Some of Holbein's preparatory works survive, as do a number of period copies of the mural. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of Rome.
