Original Description
The portrait of Edward Fiennes de Clinton, 1st Earl of Lincoln (1512–1585) by Hans Holbein the Younger radiates Tudor-era gravitas through its meticulous Northern Renaissance style. Painted circa 1535–40, this oak panel artwork captures Clinton as Lord High Admiral – his penetrating gaze and sumptuous sable-trimmed robes embodying both political power and humanist ideals characteristic of Henry VIII’s court. Holbein’s virtuosic handling creates extraordinary depth through layered glazes, rendering each pearl on Clinton’s chain and individual hair strand with photographic precision against an ultramarine background (noticeably expensive lapis pigment). Measuring 16.5 x 12.6 inches (42 x 32 cm), this masterpiece exemplifies Holbein’s revolutionary portraiture that transcended mere likeness to become psychological studies. Currently housed in the Royal Collection, its historical significance lies in documenting England’s naval leadership during continental conflicts, while artistically bridging Flemish detail with Italian compositional harmony, marking a pinnacle of Renaissance portraiture.
For contemporary spaces, this portrait commands strategic placement – its intimate scale suits a study or executive office alongside dark walnut bookcases, where directional LED lighting can dramatize Holbein’s chiaroscuro. Consider pairing with Art Deco brass accents or Mid-Century Modern clean lines to create intriguing temporal dialogues. The ultramarine background suggests placing against dove-gray walls or near Prussian blue textiles for chromatic resonance. As focal point, position at eye-level in rooms with 9+ foot ceilings to maintain Tudor-era grandeur proportions. For corporate settings, flank with minimalist abstract works in slate tones to allow Holbein’s mastery to shine, while residential applications benefit from pairing with Pre-Raphaelite sketches or William Morris patterns to enhance historical continuity. The portrait’s inherent authority makes it particularly impactful in law offices or academic libraries when displayed alongside rare book collections under warm 3000K lighting.
