Wolsey Stars Wolsey Stars

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Henry VIII’s Lord Chancellor, started Hampton Court Palace’s transformation from an ordinary country house to a magnificent Tudor palace. He oversaw the initial interior scheme of this imposing residence and its Great Watching Chamber ceiling, in which the structure of Wolsey Stars can still be seen today. Found in the palace as an ornate wooden geometric design of interlocking stars, this print is contemporary in feel with its simple line-drawing-style to complement Wren Architecture.
