EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ambrosius and Hans, the artists sons, 1511" by Hans Holbein the Elder, takes us back to the 16th century. The portrait showcases Ambrosius Holbein (c1494-c1520) and his younger brother Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543), who would later become a renowned court painter to King Henry VIII. The image captures their youthful innocence as they stand side by side, their faces filled with curiosity and promise. It is a testament to the artistic talent that ran in their family lineage. The drawing was discovered in the Kupferstichkabinett of Staatlichen Museen in Berlin. Hans Holbein's intricate pen strokes bring out every detail of his subjects' features - from their expressive eyes to their delicate hands. The monochrome palette adds an air of timelessness to this piece of art. This photograph is featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen", which celebrates five hundred years of European drawings. Published in 1943 by Atlantis-Verlag Berlin and Zurich, it serves as a reminder of Germany's rich artistic heritage during a tumultuous decade. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported back through history, witnessing not only two young boys on the cusp of greatness but also catching a glimpse into Renaissance-era Germany. It is truly an exquisite representation of familial love intertwined with artistic brilliance.
