Painting Description
"William Roper" is a portrait by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, painted circa 1535. The subject of the painting, William Roper (1496–1578), was an English lawyer and Member of Parliament, best known as the son-in-law of Sir Thomas More, having married More's daughter Margaret. Roper was also More's first biographer, and his work provides much of the historical detail about More's life.
The portrait is executed in oil and tempera on an oak panel, a medium typical of Holbein's English period. It showcases the artist's meticulous technique and attention to detail, characteristics that have cemented his reputation as one of the foremost portraitists of the 16th century. Holbein's portraits are celebrated for their vivid realism and psychological insight, and "William Roper" is no exception. The sitter is depicted with a direct gaze and an air of quiet confidence, indicative of his status and intellect.
Holbein became the King's Painter to Henry VIII, and during his time in England, he created portraits of several members of the court and the Tudor elite. The "William Roper" portrait is part of this body of work, which provides an invaluable visual record of the period's prominent figures. The painting is noted for its rich color palette and the intricate rendering of textiles and fur, demonstrating Holbein's skill in portraying textures and materials.
The current location of the "William Roper" portrait is not specified in this introduction, as that information would require up-to-date verification. However, Holbein's works are held in various collections around the world, including major museums and private collections. The "William Roper" portrait is an important example of Holbein's portraiture and contributes to the understanding of the social and cultural context of Tudor England.
