EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of Sir Thomas More, a prominent figure in English history during the reign of King Henry VIII. As Lord Chancellor, More was not only a skilled lawyer and statesman but also an accomplished author, best known for his work "Utopia." The intricate details in this portrait by Francis Bartolozzi after Hans Holbein showcase More's noble stature and dignified presence. Sir Thomas More's unwavering commitment to his principles ultimately led to his tragic end, as he refused to compromise his beliefs in the face of political pressure from King Henry VIII. This image serves as a poignant reminder of More's courage and integrity in standing up for what he believed was right. The delicate handcolouring adds depth and richness to the portrait, bringing out the nuances of expression on More's face. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of both Bartolozzi and Holbein in capturing the essence of this influential historical figure. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to the 16th century courtly world where Sir Thomas More once held sway as Lord Chancellor. His legacy lives on through works such as "Utopia" and through images like this one that immortalize him as a man of great intellect and moral conviction.
