Portrait of Sir Thomas More 1527

"Portrait of Sir Thomas More," painted in 1527 by Hans Holbein the Younger, is a masterful example of Northern Renaissance portraiture. The work depicts Sir Thomas More, a prominent English lawyer, statesman, and scholar, in a realistic and detailed manner. Holbein captures More's intellectual and dignified persona through his piercing gaze, refined features, and the carefully rendered details of his attire. The painting, now housed at the National Portrait Gallery in London, is a testament to Holbein's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and remains a celebrated example of Renaissance portraiture.
