"Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)" is a painting by John Rogers Herbert, a notable 19th-century British artist known for his historical and literary subjects. The artwork, created in 1844, is a depiction of Sir Thomas More, an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. More served as a councillor to Henry VIII and was Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to May 1532. He is also recognized for his 1516 book "Utopia," a work of political satire, and for his steadfast refusal to acknowledge King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church of England, a decision that led to his execution for treason.

Herbert's painting captures More in a moment of contemplation or moral dilemma, reflecting the gravity of the historical events surrounding More's life and his eventual martyrdom. The artwork is imbued with the Victorian fascination for medieval and Renaissance themes, which often sought to highlight moral and ethical questions through historical narratives.

The painting is executed in the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by a keen attention to detail, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on complex compositions. Herbert, although not a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was influenced by their principles and his work often reflected similar aesthetic qualities.

"Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)" by John Rogers Herbert is a significant work in the canon of British historical painting, offering insight into the Victorian era's perspective on historical figures and their legacies. The painting not only serves as a tribute to the historical figure of Sir Thomas More but also as a reflection of the 19th-century British cultural and artistic interests.
