EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Sir Thomas More, a prominent English statesman from the 16th century. Created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger in c1526-1527, this drawing captures More's dignified presence as he dons a hat and fur collar. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every line and stroke bringing out the depth of his character. The image is part of "Europaische Handzeichnungen" (Five Hundred Years of European Drawings) by Bernhard Degenhart, published in 1943. It offers a glimpse into both historical and artistic significance during that time period. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when politics played a crucial role in shaping nations. Sir Thomas More was not only known for his political contributions but also for his literary achievements. He was an author who penned notable works such as "Utopia" which explored ideal societies. This portrait serves as a testament to his intellect and influence on Renaissance literature. Displayed within the Royal Collection, this drawing represents more than just an individual; it embodies an entire epoch defined by intellectual curiosity and cultural transformation. Through Holbein's skilled hand, Sir Thomas More comes alive once again, reminding us of our rich heritage and inspiring us to reflect upon our own place in history.
