{"title":"Holbein the Younger, Hans","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHans Holbein the Younger (c1497-1543)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a German-Swiss painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called \"the Younger\" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolbein was born in Augsburg but worked mainly in Basel as a young artist. At first, he painted murals and religious works, and designed stained glass windows and illustrations for books from the printer Johann Froben. He also painted an occasional portrait, making his international mark with portraits of humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. When the Reformation reached Basel, Holbein worked for reformist clients while continuing to serve traditional religious patrons. His Late Gothic style was enriched by artistic trends in Italy, France, and the Netherlands, as well as by Renaissance humanism. The result was a combined aesthetic uniquely his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolbein travelled to England in 1526 in search of work with a recommendation from Erasmus. He was welcomed into the humanist circle of Thomas More, where he quickly built a high reputation. He returned to Basel for four years, then resumed his career in England in 1532 under the patronage of Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell. By 1535, he was King's Painter to Henry VIII. In this role, he produced portraits and festive decorations, as well as designs for jewellery, plate, and other precious objects. His portraits of the royal family and nobles are a record of the court in the years when Henry was asserting his supremacy over the Church of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolbein's art was prized from early in his career. French poet and reformer Nicholas Bourbon (the elder) dubbed him \"the Apelles of our time\", a typical accolade at the time. Holbein has also been described as a great \"one-off\" in art history since he founded no school. Some of his work was lost after his death, but much was collected and he was recognised among the great portrait masters by the 19th century. Recent exhibitions have also highlighted his versatility. He created designs ranging from intricate jewellery to monumental frescoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolbein's art has sometimes been called realist, since he drew and painted with a rare precision. His portraits were renowned in their time for their likeness, and it is through his eyes that many famous figures of his day are pictured today, such as Erasmus and More. He was never content with outward appearance, however; he embedded layers of symbolism, allusion, and paradox in his art, to the lasting fascination of scholars. In the view of art historian Ellis Waterhouse, his portraiture \"remains unsurpassed for sureness and economy of statement, penetration into character, and a combined richness and purity of style.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/products\/hans-holbein-the-younger-50-high-resolution-images\" style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eHans Holbein the Younger 50 High Resolution Images\u003c\/a\u003e collection for downloadable artwork by the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hans-holbein-the-younger-50-high-resolution-images","title":"Hans Holbein the Younger 50 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003eHans Holbein the Younger brought exceptional precision and psychological insight to portraits of Tudor courtiers and European scholars.
