Nicholas Kratzer was not only a Fellow of Corpus Christi College but also had the prestigious honor of being appointed Astronomer Royal to King Henry VIII. His contributions to academia and scientific exploration were immense, as he tutored the children of Thomas More and invented the polyhedral sundial – an ingenious device that revolutionized timekeeping. In this portrait, we see Kratzer surrounded by various instruments symbolizing his multifaceted talents. The sun dial represents his expertise in constructing such devices while his mathematical tools highlight his proficiency in calculations. As a close friend of Holbein himself, it is evident that their shared admiration for each other's work shines through this masterpiece.
