"Sir Thomas More" is an oil-on-oak panel portrait painted by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger in 1527. The work is one of the most celebrated portraits by Holbein, who became renowned for his detailed and lifelike depictions of the figures at the court of Henry VIII of England. This painting is particularly significant as it captures Sir Thomas More, a noted Renaissance humanist, author of "Utopia," and Lord Chancellor of England, at the height of his career before his fall from royal favor and subsequent execution in 1535.

The portrait showcases Holbein's mastery of realism and his ability to convey the character and intellect of his sitters. More is depicted wearing a fur-lined robe with a gold chain and the Tudor Rose pendant, signifying his status and allegiance to the king. His expression is contemplative and dignified, reflecting his reputation as a scholar and statesman. The attention to detail in the textures of his clothing and the lifelike rendering of his face are hallmarks of Holbein's portrait style.

Commissioned during Holbein's first visit to England, the painting was likely intended to commemorate More's political success and to serve as a personal memento. It has since become an iconic representation of More, often reproduced in literature about him and the Tudor period. The original painting is part of the Frick Collection in New York City, where it remains a key attraction and an important example of 16th-century portraiture.

Holbein's "Sir Thomas More" is not only a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art but also a valuable historical document, providing insight into the cultural and political milieu of Tudor England. Its enduring legacy continues to influence the perception of More as a historical figure and to inspire scholarly and artistic interest in the period.
