Artists of the Tudor Court: Hans Eworth
Paintings of people who lived during the Tudor period (or any period at all) have always fascinated me. Maybe it’s because I cannot paint like they could – some have a way, like Hans Holbein the Younger, of bringing the sitter to life. Thedetails are what amaze me the most – they men (and women) were truly talented artist.
With that being said, I’ve decided to do an ongoing series on the artists of the Tudor court. I’ve already done Hans Holbein the Younger and now we will look at some of the portraits by Hans Eworth. As you’ll notice, Eworth was very talented, but in my opinion, not as talented as Holbein. It is quite possible that looking at the portraits below that you did not know they were painted by Eworth. I am hoping that by doing this series that it will show everyone that there were many people who earned a living as an artist at Tudor court.

(d? Antwerp, before May 1579). Netherlandish painter, jeweller, and goldsmith active mainly in England, though he also spent time in Antwerp, Calais, and Portugal. He is first documented in Antwerp in 1540. He joined the Painters Guild that same year and had travelled to London, perhaps due to religious persecution, by 1550. About 50 monogrammed paintings and drawings from 1549 to 1573 are known, with another 20 or so that are potentially by his hand or workshop. He worked mainly in portraits, though allegorical and classical works also survive. In the early 1570s he also worked for the Office of Revels in London, where he is known to have painted for pageants and masques. He worked at all scales, from the life-size posthumous portrait of King Henry VIII (c.1567, Trinity College, Cambridge) to the stunning miniature of Queen Mary I (c.1554, Buccleuch Collections).
He is perhaps best known for his beautiful allegorical works, including the magnificent allegorical portrait of Sir John Luttrell (15
