Sir Thomas More and family is a painting that was once part of the Lenthall pictures.〔(The English Counties Delineated, Volume 2, Thomas Moule, 1837 )〕 ==The picture== ''Sir Thomas More and Family'' is one of two near life-size copies by Rowland Lockey of an original by Holbein that was lost in a fire in the 18th century.〔(UK and Ireland Genealogy )〕 It is dated 1593; Holbein died in 1554.〔(A biographical and critical dictionary of painters and engravers, Michael Bryan, page 337 )〕 It is oil on canvas and measures by . It was probably commissioned by More's grandson, Thomas More II, to commemorate five generations of the family. The National Portrait Gallery lists〔(NPG catalogue entry )〕 the sitters as: *Elizabeth Dauncey (née More) (1506-1564), Second daughter of Sir Thomas More. *Cecily Heron (née More) (born 1507), Youngest daughter of Sir Thomas More. *Anne More (née Cresacre) (1511-1577), Wife of John More, son of Sir Thomas More. *Cresacre More (1572-1649), Great-grandson and biographer of Sir Thomas More. *Sir John More (circa 1451-1530), Judge; father of Sir Thomas More. *John More (1510-1547), Son of Sir Thomas More. *John More (1557-1599?), Eldest son of Thomas More II. *Maria More (née Scrope) (1534-1607), Wife of Thomas More II. *Sir Thomas More (1478-1535). *Thomas More II (1531-1606), Grandson of Sir Thomas More. *Margaret Roper (1505-1544), Daughter of Sir Thomas More. A cabinet miniature version of this portrait c. 1594 with different details, also likely by Lockey, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum.〔 *Strong, Roy (1969). ''The English Icon: Elizabethan and Jacobean Portraiture'', London, Routledge & Kegan Paul p. 255.〕 〔(V&A Museum )〕 There is also a surviving drawing by Holbein which confirms the general accuracy of picture. Two further copies of the Holbein, at Old Chelsea Town Hall (formerly one of the Petre Pictures) and Hendred House, East Hendred, may be by Lockey, but are too damaged and over-painted for any certainty to be possible. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Thomas More and Family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
