"Thomas Howard, Prince of Norfolk (1539-40)" is a portrait by the German artist and printmaker Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most prominent portrait painters of the 16th century. The painting is believed to depict Thomas Howard, the 3rd Duke of Norfolk, a significant figure in the Tudor period of English history. Howard was an uncle to both Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, two of King Henry VIII's wives, and played a pivotal role in the political machinations of the time.

The portrait, executed around 1539-1540, is a testament to Holbein's mastery in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters. It is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of the luxurious fabrics and adornments that signify Howard's high status. The Duke is portrayed with an air of authority and confidence, indicative of his powerful position as a nobleman and courtier.

Holbein's time in England, where he became the court painter to Henry VIII, allowed him to create portraits that have become iconic representations of the Tudor court. His work is characterized by its realism and the psychological depth he imbued in his subjects. "Thomas Howard, Prince of Norfolk" is a prime example of Holbein's skill in portraiture, capturing not only the physical appearance but also the essence of the sitter's personality and social standing.

The painting is an important piece of historical documentation, as it provides insight into the fashion, culture, and politics of the Tudor era. It also contributes to our understanding of the visual language of power and the role of portraiture in reinforcing social hierarchies during the 16th century.
