There's a set of Henry's armor hanging out at the Met as well. I was pleasantly surprised to bump into it en route to see the gaudy-as-hell frame they put on Washington Crossing the Delaware.
Since we can't meet Henry himself, meeting one of his suits of armor is the next best thing. It wasn't nearly as fat as the paintings would suggest.
He might have been fat later, maybe!
You're not wrong.
