I agree I love Holbein work. I love his portrait of Henry VIII and of Henry's son Edward. He was brilliant and one of my favorites.

Thomas Moore is a hero of mine. The man had character, integrity, morality, humility, humor and a gentle kindness that truly made him a saint. Even without his contributions to England during Henry's reign Thomas Moore would have been known to history a great statesman. Too bad Henry chose to waste Moore's genius.

A splendid man, everything an Englishman should be.

Henry wasn't fit to clean his shoes.

Red Mass tomorrow . . .

More had six Lutherans martyred and many more Protestants tortured - some in his own home. "Gentle kindness" befitting a saint? Nah.
