Holbein: portrait of Sir Thomas Strange (detail), and
portrait of Sir Thomas Wyatt.
I have such an artistic hard-on for Holbein it’s not true. Always and inspiration. Shame the original of this portrait did not survive – but a surprisingly amount of sketches for those lost paintings did…

Attributed to Paolo Caliari Veronese, Mid-1570s (?): Portrait of a Gentleman
Private Collection
Not totally sure of this attribution, it’s Veronese-esque but not like the other portraits I’ve seen, seems a bit too modern (rare to have a completely blank background in a Veronese too).
But still, an amazing portrait.

Painting by Paul Signac, ‘Dimanche’ (Sunday), oil on canvas, 1888-1890
So was Hockney making explicit reference to this photo? Seems closer than Arnolfini Marriage or Rake’s Progress. I mean even the cat’s there…
