History of art & design styles: c 1600 to c 1800
Hans Holbein the Younger's life is discovered through his

artworks, his family, his patrons and the people who met

him. Born into a family of talented artists, Holbein learnt to

be a draughtsman, a painter, a portraitist, and a designer for

woodcuts. What could not be taught was his remarkable skill as a portrait painter. From an Augsburg workshop as a youth, he would achieve high status as Painter to the King at the English court of Henry VIII. Holbein had a talent to engage with his clients, proven by repeated commissions. He could capture a moment in time, from Erasmus sitting in his study in Basel, to rich Hanseatic merchants seated in their London offices. His gift as a painter was grounded in a sound knowledge of pigments, practical costings and time required to complete a work. In his lifetime he created a unique portfolio of ground-breaking art, predominantly in portraiture. This glorious and comprehensive volume is both a biography and gallery of his work
