Award-winning piece
King Henry VIII
Winner of the Jacques Cartier Memorial Award, 2007.
My painted enamel interpretation of Holbein's "King Henry VIII", after the cartoon for the lost Whitehall fresco and the oil paintings by Hans Holbein the Younger. It won the Jacques Cartier Memorial Award — the most prestigious prize in the annual Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council competition — and was exhibited at Goldsmiths' Hall in London.
