Painting Description
"Margaret More Wife of William Roper" is a portrait by the renowned German-Swiss artist Hans Holbein the Younger, who is celebrated for his detailed and realistic depictions of prominent figures during the Renaissance. Holbein, who became the court painter for Henry VIII of England, is known for his masterful use of line and color, as well as his ability to capture the personality and status of his subjects.
Margaret More, the subject of this portrait, was the daughter of Sir Thomas More, a noted English lawyer, social philosopher, author, and statesman. She was married to William Roper, a lawyer and biographer of her father. Margaret More was highly educated for a woman of her time, having been tutored by her father and other scholars. She was proficient in Latin and Greek and was known for her intellectual prowess and piety.
The portrait is believed to have been created during Holbein's first visit to England between 1526 and 1528. It is part of a series of portraits Holbein painted of the More family, which includes the famous "Sir Thomas More and His Family" drawing. In this particular work, Holbein's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Margaret's clothing and accessories, which reflect her status and the fashion of the period. The portrait also captures her serene and contemplative expression, suggesting her intellectual depth and moral character.
Holbein's portraits are not merely visual records but are imbued with a psychological depth that offers insight into the lives and personalities of his subjects. "Margaret More Wife of William Roper" is a testament to Holbein's skill as a portraitist and his ability to convey the dignity and inner life of his sitters. This work remains an important piece in the study of Renaissance portraiture and the history of the More family.
