SIR THOMAS MORE - 2000
In 2000 Stephen B Whatley was commissioned to paint 30 paintings for the Tower of London; including a portrait of Sir Thomas More. This is one of two charcoal drawings made in front ofthe portrait of Sir Thomas More of 1512 by an unknown artist (virtually identical to the portrait by the Holbein in the Frick Collection in New York) owned by the National Portrait Gallery and hung at Montecute House; to which the artist was given access. Absorbing the portrait through these drawings inspired the oil painting to be seen here.
