Painting Description
"Portrait of Sir Thomas More (1478-1535), Lord Chancellor" is a seminal work by the German and Swiss artist Hans Holbein Younger, considered one of the principal figures of the Northern Renaissance. The painting was created in 1527, during Holbein's first visit to England, which was sponsored by the merchant and art patron Sir Thomas More himself.
The painting represents More, one of the most influential statesmen of his time, while as the Lord Chancellor of England under King Henry VIII. Known for his high intellect and moral integrity, More was a leading figure in European humanism. Holbein's portrait effectively captures More's character and status, with his determined gaze and wearing the costume of his official position.
Holbein's attention to detail, from the meticulous rendering of the fur and gold chain of office to the accuracy and depth of More's facial expression, all contribute to creating an authoritative and influential image, which has been widely recognized as one of the most truthful portraits of Thomas More.
The painting, oil on panel, is now part of the Frick Collection in New York. It has been widely studied by art scholars and historians for presenting a pivotal visualisation of political power and personal identity during the Tudor period. As one of Holbein's most admired and replicated works, the 'Portrait of Sir Thomas More' continues to provide valuable insights into the artist's techniques, the patronage of Tudor age, and the significant historical figure that was Sir Thomas More.
