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 🖤

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

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)

how did Anne and Catalina meet?

SIX THE MUSICAL - MODERN!AU: lore

In the beginning of 2011, Anne (15y) started working at a restaurant where Lina (19y) was the manager. They didn't interact much but got along pretty well.

At that time, Lina had been married to Henry for almost 2 years. Mary was 2, and Bessie (Lina's 14y former employer and Henry's mistress victim) was 3 months pregnant with Henry's baby.

Not too long ago, in January of that same year, Lina had given birth to a beautiful baby boy named Henry Felix, who tragically died little more than a month after he was born. That took a tool on Lina and Henry's relationship, which was already souring.

Anne was dating Henry Algernon Percy, her middle school sweetheart and first boyfriend, for almost 4 years. They were in love, but their families disapproved of it. And with so much pressure from both sides, their relationship had began to crumble.

Henry (18y) caught sight of Anne and flirted with her. Anne knew him, he had slept with her older sister, Mary, and that whole ordeal ended with Mary being known as 'the great and infamous whore'.

She said no and told Lina, who already had become accustomed to her husband's antics, told Anne to ignore him, and if he persisted, the girl should call her and she would take care of it.

Henry, who never heard "no" in his life, got even more persistent with his crush. That prompted Anne to tell Lina, who told Henry to step back.

That didn't work, and he became more and more obsessed. That affected not only Anne, but also her relationship.

Anne and Henry Percy decided to take a break.

Deafeted, Lina asked Anne if she would be more comfortable getting transferred to another unit. She accepted, but Henry found out where she was working and Anne resigned. It was only a high school job anyway.

Lina wrote her an amazing recommendation letter.

In the summer of 2011, Anne moved in with her aunt, also named Anne, to a city not far from london. It seemed to work, Henry hadn't contacted her nor showed up anywhere around. Until she got a very excited call from her dad prompting her to come back home to London.

When she arrived, they had organized a dinner with the Tudor family. Turns out Thomas Boleyn worked for Henry's family (she also found out her mother Elizabeth worked for Lina's family) and Henry had been very friendly with Mr Boleyn. He even got the man promoted.

And, of course, Henry showed much interest in Anne.

Henry had a new son in June, Henry Kyle Blount. They boy was his pride and joy, at least for the first few weeks, when he remembered Anne existed. They boy moved to the USA with his grandma and uncle while Bessie, soon to be 15, moved to a boarding school.

Lina had showed Bessie and Hank her support. Mary got very attached to the boy and threw a tantrum when she found out her baby brother would leave the country.

They ended up having a rather pleasant conversation. Anne had let her guard down after a week she moved, and her and Henry Percy had broken up officially the first week of summer. Not to mention, her sister seemed to not be bitter at all about the 'whore' incident.

They became friends for the next few weeks and engaged in an affair. Henry had promised her he and Lina had been separated for long and Anne told him about the Henry Percy situation. So that, added with her young age and Henry's older boy charms, her newly acquired broken heart, a desire to be in a relationship, and the pressure from her father (wich was so out of hand, it led to her parents separating), prompted Anne to date Henry.

That's when Henry asked Lina for a divorce. She knew it was the best thing to do, but with serious abandonment issues, a catholic upbringing, and having to have endured so much since their marriage, she got defensive and didn't accept it.

They fought a lot during the next months. So much that, one day, they got captured by the media. The people took Lina's side, especially when they found out Anne was involved. That took a tool on the Boleyn family.

Both sides gave public speeches after the case went to court. Lina's was so honest and heartbreaking that the opposite side briefly lost their composure. The country's hatred for Anne affected her so much, that in the begging of 2012, she ended up having a miscarriage.

Lina (20y) only gave in near the end of 2012, when in a heated discussion, Henry (20y) grabbed Lina's arm too hard. She didn't back down and simply glared at him. He seemed to have realized what he did and quickly let go. He calmed down, but didn't acknowled it.

They got divorced. Lina and Anne met again a few times briefly during the process. The former friendliness from before had vanished. Tho, deep down, they both knew it was Henry's fault.

Lina's family stood by her side and publicly threatened to cut all ties, including partnerships, with the Tudors. Henry's older sister, Margaret, was able to calm everyone down and offer the Trastámaras a public apology from Henry. It worked, and the Trastámaras also went public, accepting said apology and excusing the Boleyn family, especially Anne, from any type of blame. That managed to quiet the 'Anne Boleyn hate train' a lot.

Mary (3y) lived with her father and Anne (17y) until December, when Anne found out she was pregnant and Henry relented Mary's custody.

In 2013 Anne (17y) and Lina (21y) saw each other every time Lina dropped her daughter off for a weekend with her father. They came to a silent agreement to be polite and cordial, and that's how their dynamic went, with the resentment slowly fading.

Lina moved in to a manor house given to her by her parents and opened a dominican-spanish restaurant. Her life was getting back on track.

Meanwhile, Anne was in her first year of university, majoring in Psychology.

In June of 2013 things went south. Anne found out Henry was constantly cheating on her and they began fighting.

It all went down quick. In July, Henry convinced him and his friends that Anne was cheating on him and the rumors began to spread. They got so far as to say she engaged in incest with her brother. That was so damaging that Anne lost contact with her brother, and just like their sister, they got cast out of their own family. Thomas and Elizabeth divorced and their mother (who hadn't had a job for 5 years) did everything she could to help her children.

The Boleyn name had been utterly destroyed.

It was Agust that Anne and Henry officially broke up. Anne was so stressed that Lizzie's birth got a whole month delayed. They fought. After Henry slaped her in the face, choked her, and claimed Elizabeth wasn't his child, Anne wandered around London like a zombie. It was around 2am when Lina, driving back late from work, found Anne quietly crying on a curb. She took the girl to the hospital and they released her. Back home, the girls took pictures of the bruises and recorded a video explaining Anne's situation in case she decided to turn him in.

Anne crashed on Lina's for 2 days. They talked, Mary finally decided she didn't hate Anne, and found eachother enjoying the other's company. Lina took her to the police and they made a report (later, she would get a restraining order for Henry, who had to pay a fine).

Anne then went to stay with her mom. And her and Lina had began a friendship.

After Elizabeth was born, the DNA test came out and Henry finally had to deal with the fact that Elizabeth was his daughter. Anne had also found out Henry was dating her distant cousin. She wondered if she knew the whole story.

In January of 2014, Anne (18y) was in university. She got a job, and with her mother's help, managed to rent a 2 bed apartment for her and Lizzie (2m). She was not struggling financially (especially since Henry's (21y) family was buying the baby stuff Lizzie nedded), but she was also not swimming in money.

It was 2 years later, in January of 2016, almost 2 moths after Anne (20y), Jane (19y), Lizzie (1y) and Eddie (3m) had moved in with Lina (24y) and Mary (7y), that the two began developing feelings for each other.
