EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "More (Holbein) Colour," showcases Sir Thomas More, an English writer and statesman, as immortalized by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger in 1535. More's regal presence is conveyed through the intricately detailed fur-lined robe, signifying his high social standing, while his piercing gaze and confident posture exude intelligence and authority. Born in 1478, More was a man of many talents. He was an accomplished writer, best known for his works "Utopia" and "A Dialogue Concerning Heresies." More's literary prowess extended beyond the written word, as he was also a gifted orator and debater. However, More's greatest legacy lies in his political career. He served as Lord Chancellor of England under King Henry VIII, a position he held from 1529 until his resignation in 1532. More's unwavering commitment to his Catholic faith and refusal to acknowledge Henry VIII as the supreme head of the Church of England led to his eventual downfall. He was charged with treason and executed in 1535. This portrait, a testament to Holbein's artistic mastery, captures More's essence as a man of faith, intellect, and unyielding conviction. The rich colors and intricate details bring the portrait to life, allowing us to appreciate the depth and complexity of this historical figure. More's legacy continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and history enthusiasts alike, making this portrait a valuable addition to any collection.
