Hans Holbein's famous portrayal of Sir Thomas More is one of the
artist's greatest and most popular portraits. In the opening piece
of this appealing new volume, "A Letter to Thomas More, Knight",
award-winning author Hilary Mantel vividly imagines the background
to the creation of this extraordinary portrait, giving it both
historical perspective and immediacy. An insightful, concise,
scholarly essay by Xavier Salomon grounds it in the art-historical
world. Hans Holbein (1497/98-1543) painted Sir Thomas More in 1527,
having been a guest in More's house when he first arrived in
England. He brilliantly renders his sitter's rich fabrics and
unshaven face with sympathy and perception. Frick Diptychs, a new
series of small books to be co-published by GILES with The Frick
Collection, New York, pairs masterworks from the Frick with
critical and literary essays. The novelist Hilary Mantel will be
followed by the filmmaker James Ivory on Vermeer's "Mistress and
Maid" and the artist and author Edmund de Waal on a pair of
porcelain and bronze candlesticks by the 18th-century French
metalworker Pierre Gouthiere.
