The National Portrait Gallery in London offers a collection of portraits of historically important and famous British people. Among them is a remarkable one: Edward VI, who reigned between 1547 and 1553. After the death of his father, King Henry VIII, Edward ascended the throne at the age of nine. Although not a passionately read king, nor did he disappear after his death, he enacted significant religious reforms during his brief reign. This portrait, created by William Scrots, offers a fascinating and essential insight into this remarkable figure.
