The "Portrait of Thomas Godsalve (c.1481-1545) with His Son John (c. 1510-1558)" is a distinguished work by the renowned German-Swiss painter Hans Holbein the Younger, created around 1528. Holbein, celebrated for his detailed and realistic portraits, was a pivotal figure in Northern Renaissance art. This particular painting exemplifies his mastery in capturing the intricate details and the psychological depth of his subjects.

Thomas Godsalve was a prominent figure in Norwich, England, serving as a notary and a registrar of the diocese. His son, John Godsalve, followed in his footsteps, later becoming a notable figure in his own right, serving as a Member of Parliament and a clerk of the Signet. The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the lives of the English gentry during the early 16th century.

In the painting, Holbein employs his characteristic precision and attention to detail. Thomas Godsalve is depicted with a solemn and dignified expression, dressed in the rich, dark clothing typical of the period, which signifies his status and wealth. His son, John, is portrayed with a similar seriousness, reflecting the expectations and responsibilities placed upon him as the heir to his father's legacy. The background of the painting is relatively plain, ensuring that the focus remains on the subjects, their attire, and their expressions.

Holbein's use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures, a technique that was innovative at the time and contributed to the lifelike quality of his portraits. The texture of the fabrics, the meticulous rendering of the facial features, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow all demonstrate Holbein's exceptional skill and his ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters.

The "Portrait of Thomas Godsalve with His Son John" is housed in the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden, Germany. It remains an important example of Holbein's work and a valuable piece of cultural heritage, offering a window into the social and familial dynamics of the Tudor period.
