Artist's Comments

"She is of middling stature, with a swarthy complexion, long neck, wide mouth, bosom not much raised, and in fact has nothing but the King's great appetite, and her eyes, which are black and beautiful - and take great effect on those who served the Queen when she was on the throne."

-the Venetian ambassador describes Anne, 1532





I've been fascinated by Anne Boleyn ever since I was a little girl.

Recent stories paint her as a power-hungry, conniving social climber who ultimately got what she deserved.

Although I'm sure some of that is true, I still believe they were in love, and that even she was not prepared for how fast she rose to glory, or how swiftly she fell.
