"John Colet (c. 1467-1519) by Hans Holbein the Younger" is a notable work of art that captures the likeness of John Colet, a prominent English scholar and clergyman of the early 16th century. Although there is no specific painting of John Colet by Hans Holbein the Younger that is widely recognized or documented in art historical records, the hypothetical existence of such a work would hold significant cultural and historical value. Hans Holbein the Younger (c. 1497-1543), a German-Swiss artist, became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century, especially known for his detailed and insightful depictions of figures associated with the court of Henry VIII of England. His approach to portraiture was renowned for its ability to capture not only the physical likeness but also the character and status of his subjects.

John Colet, the subject of this hypothetical portrait, was a leading figure in the early English Renaissance and the Christian humanist movement. As the Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the founder of St. Paul's School in 1509, Colet was an influential advocate for educational reform and the study of the New Testament in its original Greek. His efforts significantly contributed to the intellectual and religious life of England during a period of significant change and reformation.

If Holbein had indeed painted Colet, the portrait would likely have been executed during Holbein's time in England, which began in 1526. The artist's ability to convey the intellectual and spiritual depth of his subjects, combined with Colet's significance as a reformer and educator, would make such a painting an important artifact of Renaissance art and the humanist movement in England. However, without concrete evidence or documentation of this specific work, the existence of a portrait of John Colet by Hans Holbein the Younger remains speculative. Holbein's body of work, nonetheless, continues to be celebrated for its artistic excellence and its unique insight into the personalities and power dynamics of the Tudor court.
