The story of Sir Thomas More

Portrait of Sir Thomas More is an oak panel painting of 1527 now in the Frick Collection in New York. More wears his Tudor Collar of Esses livery chain with its Tudor rose, a sign of fealty and high office, and a cord in the upper right is tied in a loose Franciscan knot, a sign of his spiritual convictions. It was painted while Holbein lived in London from 1526 and the humanist Erasmus advised him to befriend More.

Hans Holbein the Younger

Hans Holbein the Younger was a German painter and printmaker of Swiss descent who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.
