"Thomas More, Lord Chancellor 1478-1535" is a renowned portrait by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted circa 1527. The artwork is a depiction of Sir Thomas More, an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist, who served as Lord Chancellor to King Henry VIII. More is perhaps best known for his book "Utopia" and for his principled refusal to accept King Henry VIII's separation from the Catholic Church, which ultimately led to his execution.

Hans Holbein the Younger, a leading portraitist of the 16th century, became court painter to Henry VIII and is celebrated for his detailed and insightful portraits of the Tudor court. His portrayal of Thomas More is considered one of his masterpieces and is noted for its exquisite detail, rich color palette, and the complex expression of its subject, which captures More's intelligence and moral integrity.

The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a common medium for Holbein's portraits. It is part of a series of works that Holbein produced during his first visit to England in 1526–1528, where he was welcomed into the humanist circle of Thomas More. The portrait showcases Holbein's skill in rendering textures and materials, seen in the fur of More's gown and the fineness of his hair.

As a historical document, the portrait provides insight into the dress and appearance of a Tudor statesman, as well as the artistic conventions of the period. It also reflects the close relationship between the artist and the sitter, with More being one of Holbein's most important patrons during his time in England.

The original painting is held in the Frick Collection in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. The portrait of Thomas More remains an iconic image, emblematic of the intellectual and cultural achievements of the Renaissance in England.
