Greetings everyone; Whilst browsing on the NMM website, I came across this picture. It shows the 'Great Harry', one of Henry VIII's favourite ships, and it looks quite impressive. The painting is listed as by Hans Holbein, who was court painter to Henry, so he should have known what he was painting. I have never seen this before, and I can't imagine that it would not have been shown in all the books I have read that cover this period. My question is: could this/is this really by Holbein? And if so, why has it been so overlooked? Or is it much later? If the latter, why would the NMM list it as by Holbein? Maybe this is a different Hans Holbein. There are no bonnets on the sails, for one thing. It is PY9170 on the NMM's inventory. Any thoughts very welcome. All the best, Mark P

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
