    portraits

    I saw, from childhood, Thomas More as a hero. The portrait in this series was complex and far by icon of saint. But this episode propose the equilibrum and it did that in good manner. In same measure, the fears of Anne Boleyn are wise reflected. Like the power, rafinated and cold of Thomas Cromwell. Like the vulnerability of Henry VIII. A beautiful episode.
