Rebecca Flint Instagram – ANNA BOLINA VXOR HENRI OCTA 🏰 My Version ❤️⁣ ⁣ 💭 Born 521 years ago, Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII, and his desire to instead marry her in favour of his first wife was a crucial factor in the English Reformation, the separation of the English Church from Rome. Until then, the church and Rome had been bonded for over 1,500 years — since the occupation of Roman England at the beginning of the first millennium. ⁣ ⁣ 🖼 I love imagining the people of the past. Isn’t it incredible to think that it’s only in the past hundred years that we have been able to document people with photographs? Before then, we could only use paintings and descriptions to convey a sense of one’s image. After Anne was executed, all contemporary portraits of her likeness were destroyed, leaving the portraits of her painted since then to continually compound upon the same scarce details that could filter through the fist determined to stamp out her memory.⁣ ⁣ 🎨 My painting recreation above is based on one of the most famous images of Anne. It was painted in the late 16th Century by an unknown English artist.
