Picture of the day

Nicholas Kratzer (1487?–1550) was a German mathematician, astronomer and horologist. Much of Kratzer's professional life was spent in England where he was appointed astronomer to King Henry VIII. Born in Munich, Kratzer came to England in 1516 and established himself as part of the artistic and scientific circle around Sir Thomas More. Kratzer tutored More's children in mathematics and astronomy and More introduced him at court in much the same way as he had their mutual friend Hans Holbein the Younger, who painted this portrait.

References

The counton.org link seems to be broken. I have added a reference to the ODNB, which I think covers the same material. I will check again in case it is a temporary problem, and if it is still inaccessible I will delete the counton.org reference. Kognos (talk) 21:13, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

I have removed the counton.org link, as it is still inaccessible. I have also added several more citations, which I think provide adequate sources for the material. I have therefore removed the request for additional citations. Kognos (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
