"The Family of Thomas More" is a celebrated painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, a German and Swiss artist known for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance. Created around 1527, this artwork is a group portrait that is believed to depict Sir Thomas More, a prominent English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist, alongside his family. The painting is significant both for its artistic merit and for its historical context, offering insight into the personal life of More, who was later canonized as a saint in the Catholic Church, and the intellectual circle that surrounded him during the reign of Henry VIII.

Holbein, who became the court painter to Henry VIII, was closely associated with More and the humanist circle in England. This connection is reflected in the intimate and detailed portrayal of the More family. The painting is renowned for its intricate detail, composition, and the use of color, showcasing Holbein's mastery in capturing the likenesses and personalities of his subjects. It is also an important document of Tudor-era clothing and interior design, providing a window into the domestic life of the period.

The exact location of the original painting is currently unknown, and it is believed to have been lost. However, its composition and details are known through a preparatory sketch by Holbein, which survives, and several copies made in the 16th and 17th centuries. These copies, though varying in quality and detail, have allowed scholars to study the painting's composition and significance.

"The Family of Thomas More" is not just a masterpiece of portraiture but also a document of the intellectual and cultural environment of the English Renaissance. It reflects the humanist ideals of the period, emphasizing the importance of family, education, and intellectual companionship. Through this work, Holbein contributes to the legacy of Thomas More and provides a fascinating glimpse into the private lives of one of the most intriguing figures of the 16th century.
