Holbein

"Holbein" by Beatrice Fortescue is a tour into the world of a Renaissance master. It is a story about the life of Hans Holbein the Younger, a famous painter, and how he grew as an artist in a changing world, following the artist from his early experiences in Augsburg through his important work in Basel and England, showing how he has influenced the world of European art, starting with his family's history and the times he lived in, including tough times that pushed them to move to Basel, touching on his early life, his first creations, and how he learned from people like Erasmus, helping us understand Holbein as someone who bridged different eras in art and as a result of big changes in Europe involving religion, science, and culture.
