Hans Holbein the Younger - Queen Anne Boleyn RL 12189.jpg Anne Boleyn [14] c.1533 – c.1536Black and coloured chalks on pale pink prepared paper.28.2 × 19.3 cmTraditionally believed to be Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Elizabeth I. [14] The drawing is consistent with both the only undisputed contemporary depiction of Anne — the badly worn 1534 coronation medal in the British Museum [15] — and an anonymous French description of her being "scrofulous and therefore fastening her dress very high on the throat, in the fashion employed by the goitrous people". [16]

Another drawing by Holbein, formerly identified as that of Anne Boleyn, is in the British Museum, London. [17]

The costume resembles the one worn by Henry VIII in the cartoon for the lost Whitehall Mural (and the many portraits derived from it). The mural was dated 1537, which gives the approximate date for the drawing; David Starkey dates it specifically to the autumn of 1537 on biographical grounds. [19]

[22] Burgh married twice; first in 1496 to Agnes (died 1522), daughter of Sir William Trywhitt of Kettleby. Sometime after 15 March 1538, Burgh married secondly to the widowed Lady Alice Bedingfield of Oxburgh, daughter of William London. By 1541, Lord Burgh was part of the household of Prince Edward. The portrait was done some time during the couples stay at court; 1540–42. [20]

[24] He also wrote verses for an edition of Holbein's Historiarum veteris instrumenti icones ad vivum expressae. [25]

The drawing is a study for a painted portrait by Holbein, now lost, but possibly recorded in a 1535 woodcut. [25]

He died in 1519, years before Holbein's first visit to England. [43]

The drawing is a study of a lost bust of circa 1520 attributed to Pietro Torrigiano and probably based on a death mask. [44] A 16th-century cast, [45] preserved in St Paul's School since at least 1552, [46] is now at the Mercers' Hall, London [47] (a copy of the cast is in the National Portrait Gallery). [48] The cast is actually a composite, only the head being original and the rest probably dating to the late 18th century and based on Holbein's drawing. [49] The head was found among the ruins of the school after the 1666 Great Fire of London by antiquarian John Bagford. [50] The very same fire also destroyed the original bust, which formed a part of Colet's tomb in the Old St Paul's Cathedral. [51] The tomb's appearance is recorded in an engraving of 1656, possibly by Wenceslaus Hollar, [52] and a watercolour miniature of circa 1585, probably by William Segar, on the cover of the manuscript Statu[t]es of Saint Paul's School, preserved at the Mercers' Hall; [53] [47] the badly damaged remains of the bust, comprising only torso and hands, were reproduced in an 1809 engraving, [54] but have since disappeared.

Bonifacius Amerbach, drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg Bonifacius Amerbach [223] c.1525Black and coloured chalk, metalpoint.40.0 × 36.8 cm Bonifacius Amerbach (de) taught Roman law at Basel University and became a friend of Holbein, as well as of the great humanist scholar Desiderius Erasmus, who made him his sole heir. Amberbach's collection of Holbein, expanded by his son Basilius (de), formed the core of Kunstmuseum Basel. [224]

An earlier painted portrait of Amerbach, by Holbein, is also in Kunstmuseum Basel. [225]

Jean de France, Duke of Berry, drawing of effigy, Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg Jean de Berry [226] 1523–1524Black and coloured chalk.39.6 × 27.5 cmThe drawing was long thought to be a portrait of a living person, until in the 1870s Jacob Burckhardt discovered it was actually a study of a statue of John, Duke of Berry (another drawing by Holbein, also in Kunstmuseum Basel, records the companion statue of the Duke's wife Joan II, Countess of Auvergne). [227] [228] The two sculptures date to around 1400 and are attributed to Jean de Cambrai. [227] [229] Originally, they stood at the sides of the Altar of Notre-Dame la Blanche in the chapel of Sainte-Chapelle (fr), Bourges, that Holbein evidently visited during his trip to France in 1523–1524 (see 1921 reconstruction drawing of the sculptural group). [227] Saint-Chapelle was damaged by fire in 1693 and demolished in 1757; the sculptures were moved to the Bourges Cathedral, where they stand to this day. [230] During the French Revolution, in 1793, the statue was badly damaged and its head was broken off (the one currently on display in the cathedral is an 1844 replacement by the local sculptor Jules Dumoutet). [227] The much-damaged original head is preserved in Musée du Berry, Palais Jacques-Cœur (fr), Bourges; [231] it appears very similar to the head of the Duke's effigy, also by Jean de Cambrai, preserved in situ in the Bourges Cathedral. [227] Bourges Cathedrale 1241.jpg
Jeanne de Boulogne, Duchess of Berry, drawing of sculpture, Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg Jeanne d'Auvergne [228] 1523–1524Black and coloured chalk.39.6 × 27.5 cmThe drawing was long thought to be a portrait of a living person, until in the 1870s Jacob Burckhardt discovered it was actually a study of a statue of Joan II, Countess of Auvergne, wife of John, Duke of Berry, a companion statue of whom Holbein also sketched (the drawing is in Kunstmuseum Basel, as well). [227] [226] The two sculptures date to around 1400 and are attributed to Jean de Cambrai. [227] [229] Originally, they stood at the sides of the Altar of Notre-Dame la Blanche in the chapel of Sainte-Chapelle (fr), Bourges, that Holbein evidently visited during his trip to France in 1523–1524 (see 1921 reconstruction drawing of the sculptural group). [227] Saint-Chapelle was damaged by fire in 1693 and demolished in 1757; the sculptures were moved to the Bourges Cathedral, where they stand to this day. [230] During the French Revolution, in 1793, the statue was badly damaged and its head was broken off (the one currently on display is a 1913 replacement based on the Holbein's drawing). [227]

Jeanne's characteristic costume has been reused by Holbein in the Duchess woodcut from the Danse Macabre series of 1525. [227]

Sir Nicholas Carew, by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg Nicholas Carew [36] 1527Black and coloured chalk.54.8 × 38.5 cmSir Nicholas Carew was a prominent courtier and renowned jouster, executed in 1539 for his alleged part in the Exeter Conspiracy. [232]

A related painted portrait of Nicholas Carew, wearing a full jousting set of Greenwich armour, [233] by Holbein, is in the Drumlanrig Castle, part of the Buccleuch collection. [37]
Two drawings of his kinsmen, [34] by Holbein, are preserved in the Royal Collection, one of Sir Gavin Carew [32] and one of the Admiral Sir George Carew; [35] a related circular painting of George Carew, by Holbein (circle of), is in Weston Park, owned by the Earls of Bradford. [35]

Hans Holbein d. J. 059.jpg
Mary, Lady Guildford, drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg Mary Guildford [38] 1527Black and coloured chalks.55.2 × 38.5 cmLady Mary Guildford was the daughter of Sir Sir Edward Wotton and the second wife of Sir Henry Guildford, one of Henry VIII's closest friends. [102] [103]

The drawing is related to a painted portrait of Mary, by Holbein, in the Saint Louis Art Museum; [40] a 16th-century copy, long thought to be the original before the discovery of the Saint Louis painting, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. [41] A drawing of her first husband Sir Henry Guildford, as well as a related painted portrait, both by Holbein, are in the Royal Collection. [102] [104] A drawing of her second husband [33] Sir Gavin Carew is also in the Royal Collection. [32]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom</span> Honorary position in the United Kingdom

The British Poet Laureate is an honorary position appointed by the monarch of the United Kingdom, currently on the advice of the prime minister. The role does not entail any specific duties, but there is an expectation that the holder will write verse for significant national occasions. The origins of the laureateship date back to 1616 when a pension was provided to Ben Jonson, but the first official holder of the position was John Dryden, appointed in 1668 by Charles II. On the death of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who held the post between November 1850 and October 1892, there was a break of four years as a mark of respect; Tennyson's laureate poems "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" were particularly cherished by the Victorian public. Three poets, Thomas Gray, Samuel Rogers and Walter Scott, turned down the laureateship. Historically appointed for an unfixed term and typically held for life, since 1999 the position has been for a term of ten years. The holder of the position as at 2024 is Simon Armitage who succeeded Carol Ann Duffy in May 2019 after 10 years in office.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lieutenant of the Tower of London</span>

Like the Constable, the Lieutenant was usually appointed by letters patent, either for life or during the King's pleasure.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Justice of the Common Pleas</span>

Justice of the Common Pleas was a puisne judicial position within the Court of Common Pleas of England and Wales, under the Chief Justice. The Common Pleas was the primary court of common law within England and Wales, dealing with "common" pleas. It was created out of the common law jurisdiction of the Exchequer of Pleas, with splits forming during the 1190s and the division becoming formal by the beginning of the 13th century. The court became a key part of the Westminster courts, along with the Exchequer of Pleas and the Court of King's Bench, but with the Writ of Quominus and the Statute of Westminster, both tried to extend their jurisdiction into the realm of common pleas. As a result, the courts jockeyed for power. In 1828 Henry Brougham, a Member of Parliament, complained in Parliament that as long as there were three courts unevenness was inevitable, saying that "It is not in the power of the courts, even if all were monopolies and other restrictions done away, to distribute business equally, as long as suitors are left free to choose their own tribunal", and that there would always be a favourite court, which would therefore attract the best lawyers and judges and entrench its position. The outcome was the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873, under which all the central courts were made part of a single Supreme Court of Judicature. Eventually the government created a High Court of Justice under Lord Coleridge by an Order in Council of 16 December 1880. At this point, the Common Pleas formally ceased to exist.

Sir James Thynne was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1640 and 1670.

Sir Thomas Thynne was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1660.

Eastman's Royal Naval Academy, originally in Southsea and later at Winchester, both in England, was a preparatory school. Between 1855 and 1923 it was known primarily as a school that prepared boys for entry to the Royal Navy. Thereafter, it was renamed Eastman's Preparatory School and continued until the 1940s. According to Jonathan Betts, it was "considered one of the top schools for boys intended for the Navy".
