Yeah, cause a painting can't POSSIBLY be exaggerated...
To quote Blackadder III,
all portraits look the same these days, 'cause they're painted to a romantic ideal rather than as a true depiction of the idiosycratic facial qualities of the person in question.
Richard Curtis wrote that. He's also writing for Season 5. Therefore, Curtis is the greater authority than you.
If anything, the painting is likely to be flattering. Henry would have been less attractive.
It all depends on what was considered attractive at the time. Isn't that one of the main reasons why one of his marriages didn't work out? It's too early in the morning for me to recall perfectly, but one of his early wives he decided to marry entirely based on a portrait - BIG mistake there...
This is continuing the tradition of false advertising and caveat emptor. I'm surprised you don't approve.
Yep, that was Anne of Cleves. He nicknamed her the Flemish Mare!
Although they did stay friends after the divorce, he liked her, just not in that way...
A potent warning about mail-order brides, right there.
By that argument, you'd not only be ripped off, but end up marrying an 19 year old with wandering loins...
Describes most Chatham characters.
