Henry VIII at Hever Castle
Visitors to Hever castle can view 46 Tudor paintings, including portraits of Henry VIII and each of his six wives.
Two rare pictures of Henry VIII are also on display on the castle walls.
An over painted 18th portrait of Henry VIII was discovered by art dealer Philip Mould.
The painting contained an older 16th century painting of a gentler looking King.
This picture dates from the time Henry was courting Anne Boleyn, and would have been painted before court artist Holbein came to Britain.
Another rare portrait of Henry was unveiled in March 2015 at Hever.
It is a 16th-century replica of a portrait in the Royal Collection by Joos Van Cleeve.
This painting pre-dates the most widely known paintings of Henry VIII, by Hans Holbein.
