Profusely illustrated. *** "Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8-1543), one of the most versatile and admired painters of the Northern Renaissance, trained under his father in Augsburg and then worked for leading patrons in Switzerland before settling in England as Court Painter to Henry VIII. To commemorate the five-hundredth anniversary of the artist's birth, Oskar Batschmann and Pascal Griener offer this richly illustrated book--the first comprehensive monograph on the artist to appear in more than forty years--which is a major advance in our understanding of Holbein's contribution to European art. The authors reexamine every aspect of a remarkable career, and further illuminate the artistic and cultural influences that affected the artist. Holbein was a hugely ambitious artist, and even during his formative years in Lucerne and Basel, made designs for jewelry, stained glass, and woodcuts, and painted major altarpieces and portraits. He also carried out several monumental decorative schemes for private houses and civic buildings. In his commissions, Holbein sought to rival the greatest masters of Germany and Italy, most notably Durer and Mantegna, and by the time of his visit to France in 1524 he was determined to secure a position as Court Painter. However, Holbein soon found himself in a precarious situation as a result of the Reformation's increasing hostility toward religious works, and he left for England in 1532. While in England, in addition to decorative schemes and Triumphs, he both drew and painted numerous unrivaled likenesses of leading courtiers, merchants, and diplomats, among which is his celebrated double portrait, The Ambassadors. This book offers both a remarkable range of extant visual evidence and a rewarding and scholarly account of Holbein's oeuvre in its full historical and artistic contexts." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Artistic competition and self-definition; Figure and movement, invention and narration; Monumental decorative works; Religious works: the making of Erasmian art; Italian and Northern art; The Portrait, Time and Death; Holbein's fame.

This richly illustrated book by Oskar Bätschmann and Pascal Griener - the first comprehensive monograph on the artist to have appeared in more than 40 years - is a major advance in our understanding of Holbeins contribution to European art. The authors reexamine every aspect of a remarkable career, in which they take full account of the artistic and cultural influences that affected the artist and of his friendships with leading humanists like Erasmus and Sir Thomas More, and cast fresh light on many hitherto vexing questions and misunderstandings. Holbein was a hugely ambitious artist, and even during his formative years in Lucerne and Basle undertook to make designs for jewelry, stained glass and woodcuts as well as to paint major altarpieces and portraits. He also carried out several monumental decorative schemes for private houses and civic buildings. In all his commissions Holbein sought to rival the greatest masters of Germany and Italy - notably Dürer and Mantegna - as well as Antiquity, and by the time of his visit to France in 1524 he was determined to secure a position as court painter. This, and the precarious situation he found himself in as a result of the Reformations increasing hostility to religious works, drove him to England for good in 1532, where in addition to decorative schemes and Triumphs he both drew and painted numerous unrivalled likenesses of leading courtiers, merchants and diplomats, among which is his celebrated double portrait The Ambassadors. This book offers both a remarkable range of extant visual evidence and a rewarding and scholarly account of Holbeins oeuvre in its full historical and artistic contexts. In addition, the authors include a reappraisal of the high reputation in which Holbein was held during the centuries following his death, as illustrated by the opinion expressed by the Elizabethan miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard and the searches undertaken by the French collector Charles Patin, and by the remarks and exertions of the wealthy eighteenth-century dilettante Horace Walpole, whose own Gothick- style Strawberry Hill home even contained a richly furnished Holbein Room / Contents Chronology, Preface, 1 Artistic Competition and Self-definition, 2 Figure and Movement, Invention and Narration, 3 Monumental Decorative Works, 4 Religious Works : The Making of Erasmian Art, 5 Italian and Northern Art, 6 The Portrait, Time and Death, 7 Holbeins Fame, Appendix, References, Select Bibliography, Photographic Acknowledgements, Index.
