1497 1543 Hans Holbein Painter Quilted Younger
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, titled "Hans Holbein the Younger," showcases the remarkable artistic skill of the German painter who rose to prominence in the Tudor court of England. Born around 1497, Holbein is known for his innovative and meticulously detailed portraits that captured the essence of his subjects. This particular image, believed to have been painted between 1532 and 1536, depicts Holbein wearing a distinctive large, quilted hat, a high-collared, voluminous quilted top, and a fur-trimmed cloak. These elements reflect the fashion trends of the time, as well as Holbein's status as a successful artist and courtier. Holbein's career began in Basel, Switzerland, where he was trained by his father, Hans Holbein the Elder. He later traveled to France and Italy, absorbing the artistic influences of these countries. In 1526, Holbein moved to England, where he became a favorite of King Henry VIII and his court. Holbein's portraits of the English monarch and his family are considered some of the most iconic images of the Tudor period. This portrait of Holbein offers a glimpse into the life of a man who not only captured the likenesses of the powerful and influential but also left an indelible mark on the history of art. Holbein's innovative techniques and mastery of detail continue to inspire artists and art enthusiasts alike, making his work a testament to the enduring power of artistic expression.
