| Summary: | The pedestal of the statue of Thomas More by Leslie Cubitt Bevis, unveiled in 1969 in Chelsea, includes three inscriptions: statesman, humanist, saint. The person of More and his particularly renowned qualities have been celebrated by at least 20 temporary exhibitions, held in eight different countries, between 1896 and 2024. The standard of these exhibitions reflects the intellectual pre-eminence of the personalities involved in them, as well as the prestige of the institutions in which they have been held. The enduring significance of More is indicated by the high number of visitors to these exhibitions, as well as the attendance of authorities such as Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Mathilde of the Belgians, the president of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Mario Monti, and the president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, Monsignore Rino Fisichell. Le piédestal de la statue de Thomas More de Leslie Cubitt Bevis, inaugurée en 1969 à Chelsea, porte trois inscriptions: gouvernant, humaniste, saint. Ces quatre thèmes, la personne de More et ses activités particulièrement renommées, ont donné lieu à au moins 20 expositions temporaires, qui se sont tenues dans huit pays différents entre 1896 et 2024. Ces expositions se caractérisent par leur qualité, qui se reflète dans les aptitudes intellectuelles des personnes qui y ont participé et dans l'importance des institutions dans lesquelles elles se sont déroulées. Ainsi, outre le nombre élevé de visiteurs dans certains cas, ou la visite d'autorités telles que la reine Élisabeth II du Royaume-Uni, la reine Mathilde des Belges, le président du Conseil des ministres de la République italienne Mario Monti et le président du Conseil pontifical pour la promotion de la nouvelle évangélisation Monsignore Rino Fisichella, ces expositions se distinguent par leur qualité. |
