DescriptionThomas Wyatt, woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger.jpg
English: Profile of Sir Thomas Wyatt wearing an antique drape. Woodcut published in
John Leland's Naenia in 1548.
This woodcut was probably based on a lost Holbein drawing or painting of Wyatt from around 1540. Holbein
had already drawn Wyatt in the mid 1530s wearing a hat. Here he is shown balding. Four copies of the lost work, by other hands, survive (see "Other versions" below for two).
Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–42) was a diplomat and a gifted poet who introduced the Italian sonnet form to England. He was arrested after the fall of
Anne Boleyn, whom he had admired in poetry, but he recovered to become ambassador to the
Emperor Charles V before being arrested again in 1541.
