I'm doing all of them. Don't worry if yours isn't in this poll.

I am including some things with disputed authorship, collaborations, and apocrypha just because.

Portrait of Sir Thomas More

Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, 1497/1498–1543)

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1527

Medium: Oil on Oak Panel

Collection: The Frick Collection, New York City, NY, United States

Portrait of Sir Thomas More

The portrait shows the English statesman and humanist Thomas More in three-quarter right half-profile, holding a book, in a fur-lined coat of rich fabrics, black satin, and red velvet. He wearing his Tudor Collar of Esses livery chain with Tudor rose, a sign of fealty and high office. A cord in the upper right is tied in a loose Franciscan knot, a sign of More's spiritual convictions. He is wearing a wedding ring inset with a stone.

The work was created during the period from 1526 when Holbein lived in London. He gained the friendship of the Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus, who recommended that he befriend More, then a powerful, knighted speaker at the English Parliament.

A closely related, though probably not directly preparatory, drawing with body colour is in the Royal Collection, and there is a copy in the National Portrait Gallery, probably "painted in Italy or Austria in the early seventeenth century". Possibly this is the version catalogued in the Leuchtenberg Gallery in 1852.

"A man of conscience is not obliged to obey the laws of a sovereign if they go against his own moral principles."

A (still great, always relevant) quote from Sir Thomas More (and also Drew Barrymore in Ever After, arguably the best retelling of Cinderella of all time) follow me on IG, support a two-full-time-job-having-rent-and-bill-paying-broke-ass college student on my Etsy account if you feel like it. With all my gratitude ❤️

Sir Thomas More was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. Was born on 7 February 1478.

“One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.”

 Thomas More

[twicedailyquotes]

For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.

A Mannequin for All Seasons

An AI-penned remake of the British historical drama based on a play of the same name. The whole film is subtitles screaming at a mannequin dressed up at Sir Thomas More.

one of the things i am looking forward to now that class is over is working on my Legendary Heroine Verse and that stupid Catherine of Aragon is a fucking supernatural hunter novel I dreamed up. Its gonna be alternate history and piss off alot of historians probably.

(just a sample, sir thomas more who is widowed, also hunts supernatural creatures too gets nearly killed when catherine makes up she was having an affair with him to hide the fact the two of them were in reality were fighting vampires and ends up reluctantly agreeing to divorce so mary isnt caught in the crossfire and anne boleyn is a good witch dont ask me how that makes sense it just does)
