You know that image you have of Henry VIII? Yeah, that one. The one with his wide legs, looking right at you? That was a purposeful and deliberate message that the King was sending about his strength, his virility, and the power of his dynasty. In this episode we explore Tudor portraits, what they were saying, and why.
