"Holbein" by S. L. Bensusan is a deep look into the life and art of Hans Holbein the Younger, a famous German artist, as told in the early 1900s. The book tells the story of Holbein's life, from his start in Augsburg to his big effect on art in England during the Renaissance. It focuses on how skilled Holbein was as an artist, especially his talent for painting portraits that showed the true character of important people from the Tudor period. The story follows Holbein's path from being the son of a painter to becoming famous for his detailed portraits of English nobles, like Sir Thomas More and King Henry VIII. Bensusan points out that Holbein's art was realistic and showed real feelings, instead of just making people look perfect like other artists at the time. The book includes many pictures of Holbein's most famous works, like "The Ambassadors" and his kind portrait of Anne of Cleves, along with other less well-known pieces, giving a full picture of how he helped shape art and culture during a time of big change.
