Peter Gaynor: Hans Holbein

Quotes 

• Thomas Cromwell : This is no ordinary painting, Mr. Holbein. A great many things hang upon it. To that effect, however you should find the lady, whatever her actual appearance, I pray you use your art and give her at least a pleasing countenance.

  Hans Holbein : Even if she is as ugly as sin?

  Thomas Cromwell : I am fairly certain she is not so.

  Hans Holbein : But still you wish me, if necessary, to lie.

  Thomas Cromwell : Surely all art is a lie, Mr. Holbein.
