𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN WEEK 2024 𓅃

day five | most underrated fictional portrayal of Anne

"Give this to my daughter. Tell her not to let them use fear as their tool. Tell her it's hers to harness and control. Fear can be fuel if you know how to use it. Fear of being unloved, fear of being unknown, too cautious, too tentative, too small, too quiet. Let your fear drive you to be bigger, louder, be the most fierce and passionate. Fly close to the sun for it is warm. I will be there every day it shines and even on the days it does not." - Anne Boleyn

In October, I decided to challenge myself to produce a miniature illustrated painting each day of the month inspired by the Tudor court and the medium of portrait miniatures.

Lucas Horenbout was a Flemish artist and founding artist of the tradition of painting miniatures. He moved to England in the mid-1520s and worked as the court miniaturist to King Henry VIII from 1525 until Horenbout's death. He captured many of the iconic figures of the era and also taught the art of illumination to Hans Holbein, who would go on to eclipse him as the most famous court artist of that era.

A portrait miniature is a miniature portrait painting, usually undertaken in gouache, watercolour, or enamel. Portrait miniatures evolved out of the techniques required to craft the intricate illustrations and borders of illuminated manuscripts, and became popular among 16th century elites. From the middle of the 18th century, the trend spread across the rest of Europe remaining highly popular until the development of photography in the mid 19th century.

For my challenge, I used black ink, water colours, and 300gsm textured watercolour paper. I bought and thrifted some amazing vintage frames, mostly 2 or 3 inches high. Some are over fifty years old, so consequently there are marks and scratches on them but I think it adds to the charm and overall feel of the pieces as historic miniatures.

I'm really proud that I completed the challenge - and all 31 paintings - and wanted to share a few with you here!

You can see them all over on my website 🖤

Part 2 where Sultan reader takes Thomas, Anna (and Elizabeth), George and Mary (as well as Mary's husband and son) back to Empire to keep their safe

》Part 2《

Sultan reader and Thomas explain everything to their children. Now all the facts have come to light. Mary reacts emotionally and vulnerably. The first to hug her mother and forgive her is Mary, then George, and finally Anne. The first few hours are very emotional and sad. Thomas emphasizes to his children that they should not be angry with their mothers and that they should forgive them. After a few weeks, the Sultan returns to her country, taking her family with her. She gives titles to all of them. They are trying to make up for lost time. Sultan reader cares closely about her grandchildren. They all live happily together.

𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN APPRECIATION WEEK 𓅃

Day Five - Favourite Family Dynamic: Anne and her brother George Boleyn The pair were close and similar in temperament, sharing the same intellectual and aesthetic interests, and developing a passion for ‘new learning’ – the liberation from the old dominant way of thinking – that was inspired by the Renaissance. Perhaps the strongest evidence of their bond can be found in two religious texts by the French humanist Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples, which Anne asked her brother to translate. These beautifully bound works from George to Anne still survive in the British Library, and not only suggest was a man capable of deep spirituality, but also a devoted brother. In his dedication, George wrote: “I have been so bold to send unto you, not jewels or gold, whereof you have plenty, not pearl or rich stones, whereof you have enough, but a rude translation of a wellwiller, a goodly matter meanly handled, most humbly desiring you with favour to weigh the weakness of my dull wit.” — Lauren McKay

We have some very exciting news to share. A suite of rooms on the first floor of the Castle are currently being re-interpreted with Tudor artefacts and furnishings and will be known as the Boleyn Apartment.

The Boleyn Apartment will be the only surviving suite of rooms in the world that the Boleyn family definitely occupied

Rooms in other houses lived in by the Boleyn family, in the UK and Europe, have either been destroyed or modified beyond their recognition. Therefore, at Hever Castle you will have the unique chance to walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn and her family.

The grand unveiling of the Boleyn Apartment will be on Monday 25th March.

Anne Boleyn Week 2024

Day 3: Favorite Historical Fact: Anne's involvement in the English Reformation

"What a zealous defender she was of Christ's gospel all the world doth know, and her acts do and will declare to the world's end." - John Foxe in Acts and Monuments (1563)

"Her formative years had impressed upon her what forthright and determined women could achieve. She stood her ground for what she believed in, and her devotion to ideas, especially religious ones, meant she was bound to prove divisive in the aggressively masculine environment of Henry’s court. She was a keen judge of men, appreciating the impetus for change which eager young evangelicals could exert, and was protective and encouraging towards them." - John Guy and Julia Fox in Hunting the Falcon (2023)

"Brief though Anne's influence was, it was a thousand days of support for reform from the throne itself. And hindsight can say more. The breach in the dyke of tradition which she encouraged and protected made the flood first of reformed, and later of more specifically Protestant Christianity, unstoppable. Catholic hatred of Anne damned her for the break with Rome and for the entrance of heresy into England. It was right on both counts." - Eric Ives in The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn (2004)
