Description
Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8 - 1543) was one of the most versatile and admired painters of the Northern Renaissance. This richly illustrated book by Oskar Baetschmann and Pascal Griener - the first comprehensive monograph on the artist to appear in more than forty years - is a major advance in our understanding of Holbein's contribution to European art. Re-examining every aspect of a remarkable career, the authors take full account of the artistic and cultural influences that affected Holbein and of his friendships with leading humanists such as Erasmus and Sir Thomas More. As a result the book casts fresh light on many previously vexing questions and misunderstandings about this great artist's life and work.
