EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir John More, a prominent figure in 16th-century London. Created by the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger, this portrait captures the essence of Sir John's distinguished presence. Sir John More, born around 1451, was not only a respected lawyer but also served as a judge. However, he is best known for being the father of Thomas More, who held the esteemed position of Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII. This familial connection adds depth to Sir John's legacy and further highlights his significance within British history. Holbein's masterful use of black chalk brings out intricate details in Sir John's attire. The fur-lined hat and jacket exude elegance and sophistication that were characteristic of Renaissance fashion during that era. The meticulous rendering of every fold and crease demonstrates Holbein's skill in capturing texture and form. This particular print is part of the Royal Collection Trust housed at Windsor Castle, showcasing its historical importance. Published in 1945 as part of K. T. Parker's book "The Drawings of Holbein at Windsor Castle" it continues to be treasured for its contribution to art history. Through this monochrome portrayal, we catch a glimpse into the life and persona of Sir John More—a man whose influence extended beyond his legal career into shaping one of England's most notable figures: his son Thomas More.
