Portrait in the style of a sixteenth century copperplate print. This depicts the historic meeting of King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France at the "Field of Cloth of Gold" in 1520. The kings are accompanied by their queens, Catherine of Aragon and Claude de France.
The Field of Cloth of Gold (French: Le Camp du Drap d'Or) took place from June 7-24, 1520, between Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France. It took place just outside of Calais. French diplomat Guillaume du Bellay wrote, in reference to the magnificence of the courtiers at the Field of Cloth of Gold, "Their expenses were so great that some bore their mills, their forests and their meadows upon their shoulders"
