Painting Description
"Sir Thomas More (1477-1535)" is a celebrated portrait by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted in 1527 during Holbein's first visit to England. The work is a masterful depiction of Sir Thomas More, a renowned Renaissance humanist, author of "Utopia," and Lord Chancellor to King Henry VIII. The portrait is widely regarded as one of Holbein's finest and most detailed works, capturing the intellectual spirit and moral gravity of one of the most influential figures of the Tudor era.
The painting showcases Holbein's skill in rendering textures and materials, with More's fur-lined robe and the intricate details of his chain of office being particularly noteworthy. The sitter's expression is rendered with psychological depth, reflecting his complex character and the tumultuous political environment of the time. The portrait originally formed part of a larger scheme of decorations and portraits intended for More's home in Chelsea and was likely commissioned by More himself.
After More's execution in 1535, the portrait gained a poignant significance as a memorial to the statesman's courage and conviction. The artwork has since become an iconic image of More, contributing to the enduring legacy of his life and work. The portrait is held in the collection of the Frick Collection in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical importance and artistic excellence.
