Hans Holbein the Elder
(1465?-1524), born in Augsburg, Bavaria, the
elder Holbein, like his brother Sigmund,
painted richly colored religious paintings in
the late Gothic style. In addition to the
altar Hans Holbein paintings that are his principal
works, he designed
church windows and also made a number of
Hans Holbein portrait drawings that foreshadow the painting
of his famous son. Later Hans Holbein paintings show
the transition from the late Gothic to the
Renaissance style. He
died in Isenheim, Alsace. |

| About 1525 the factional strife that accompanied the Reformation made Basel a difficult place for an artist to work. In 1526 Holbein, carrying a letter of introduction from Erasmus to the English statesman and author Sir Thomas More, set out for London. Hans Holbein the Younger met with a favorable reception in England and stayed there for two years. In 1528 Hans Holbein the Younger returned to Basel, where painted Hans Holbein portraits and murals for the town hall. In 1532 Hans Holbein the Younger left his wife and children there and traveled once again to London. - antique art works, biography of Holbein Hans oil painting from Germany. |

| In England, where he became court painter to Henry VIII, Holbein was known chiefly as a painter of Hans Holbein portraits. His services were much in demand. The more than 100 miniature and full-size portraits Hans Holbein the Younger completed at Henry's court provide a remarkable document of that colorful period. An old account of his services at court relates that Hans Holbein the Younger painted the portrait of the king, "life size, so well that everyone who looks is astonished, since it seems to live as if it moved its head and limbs." In spite of their richness of detail, Hans Holbein portraits provide remarkably little insight into the personality and character of the people Hans Holbein the Younger painted. | |||||||

Holbein also found time to perform numerous services for Henry. Hans Holbein the Younger designed the king's state robes and made drawings that were the basis of all kinds of items used by the royal household, from buttons to bridles to bookbindings. In 1539, when Henry was thinking of marrying Anne of Cleves, Hans Holbein the Younger sent Holbein to paint her portrait. In 1543 Holbein was in London working on another portrait painting of the king when Hans Holbein the Younger died, a victim of the plague. | ||||||
