"Sir Thomas More and Family is a lost painting by Hans Holbein the Younger, painted circa 1527 and known from a number of surviving copies. The original was destroyed in 1752 in a fire at Schloss Kremsier (Krom\u011B\u0159\u00ED\u017E Castle), the Moravian residence of Carl von Liechtenstein, archbishop of Olmutz. A study by Holbein for the painting survives in the Kunstmuseum Basel (\u00D6ffentliche Kunstsammlung Basel, Kupferstichkabinett Inv. 1662.31). The work is also preserved in a number of sixteenth-century versions by Rowland Lockey, including those in Nostell Priory and the National Portrait Gallery (formerly part of the Lenthall pictures). Strong calls it \"arguably the greatest and most innovative work of his English period\" and \"the earliest portrait conversation piece in English painting, at least a century ahead of its time\" and asserts that \"its destruction means we lost the greatest single visual artefact to epitomize the aims and ideals of the early Renaissance in England.\""@en . . . .
