Hans Holbein’s prolific production of precise and realistic portraits of the great figures of the 16th century earned him an international reputation in his own time. Although Holbein (1497–1543) gained high acclaim while working in Switzerland, his periods in England, where he became the official artist at the court of King Henry VIII, proved equally important in establishing his reputation. Susan Foister, a leading expert on Holbein, considers the way in which England both influenced and was influenced by the artist and his work. Illustrated with more than 100 color images, Holbein in England includes the artist’s best-known portraits alongside lesser-known but equally important works.

A study of Holbein's portrait entitled "The Ambassadors". It offers a technical account of the painting and sets it in the context of the religious and political crisis in Europe in 1533, investigating the political fortunes and artistic patronage of the Dinteville family who commissioned it.

When Holbein died in 1543, exactly 450 years ago, he left behind him one of the most remarkable records of a royal court ever made. These portraits were executed while Holbein was in London during the late 1520s, and again between 1532 and 1543. With his subtle artistry Holbein delineated the features of many of the leading figures of the day, including the saintly Sir Thomas More, the treacherous Richard Southwell and the King's third wife, Jane Seymour. The artist's preparatory sketches have mostly survived in the Royal Collection, as have an exquisite group of his portrait miniatures. These still provide an astonishingly vivid impression of the appearance of the members of the court of Henry VIII. The principal subjects of this catalogue are reproduced in colour, alongside comparative illustrations of related works of art. The sitters and their portraits are placed within the wider historical context, in an attempt to assist the reader to further appreciate these extraordinary portrait likenesses.

This volume contains nearly the entire creative output of Hans Holbein the Younger's Basel period, i.e. the productive and innovative years between 1515 and 1532. In contrast to his later work in England, where he was active primarily as a portraitist and a designer at court, the Basel years were varied and multifaceted.This publication also includes a series of essays by distinguished Holbein scholars. These cover Holbein's artistic development, analyze his graphic works, shed light on his religious panel paintings and focus on individual works and work complexes such as the woodcut series of the Images of Death. Holbein's artistic career, his patrons and his relationship to antique and contemporary art theory are also discussed.

504 S. : Illustrationen ; 31 cm Buch selbst in NEUWERTIGEN, UNGELESENEN ZUSTAND, Einband sauber und unbestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Buchblock fest, Schutzumschlag gut, dieser mit leichten Lagerspuren, Ein großer Bildband, der sowohl hohen wissenschaftlichen Ansprüchen genügt als auch die Bedürfnisse des interessierten Laien befriedigt. [Zeit] Anders als bisher angenommen, setzte sich Holbein nicht nur mit der italienischen, sondern auch mit der deutschen, niederländischen sowie französischen Kunst auseinander, was seinen Rang als europäischen Künstler deutlich werden lässt. Als kühner Neuerer traditioneller Bildformen, als einfallsreicher Erzähler und als Porträtist seiner Zeit zählt Holbein zu den bedeutendsten Künstlern der nordeuropäischen Renaissance. Augsburg, Basel, London sind die wichtigsten Schauplätze seines Lebens, um das sich früh zahlreiche Legenden gebildet haben. Die systematische Untersuchung der vor 1532 in Basel geschaffenen Gemälde liefert nun erstmals die Grundlage, das Werk kritisch zu sichten. Dabei wird deutlich, daß sich Holbeins Kunst nicht nur aus italienischen Quellen speist. Seine von der Forschung bisher übersehene intensive Auseinandersetzung mit deutscher, niederländischer und französischer Kunst läßt erst seinen Rang als europäischer Künstler um so deutlicher erkennen. Dieses Buch stellt einen der wichtigsten Beiträge dar, der auf die Diskussion Holbeins als Maler und seiner künstlerischen Persönlichkeit belebend wirken wird. Sander stellt faszinierendes Material bereit, das er sorgfältig untersucht und detailreich analysiert. [Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte] Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 3400

Religion, Renaissance, and Reformation―these three ideologies shaped the world of 16th-century portraitist Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98–1543), a pivotal figure of the Northern Renaissance, whose skills took him to Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, and England, and garnered patrons and subjects as prestigious as Henry VIII, Thomas More, Anne of Cleves, and Reformation advocate Thomas Cromwell. This book brings together key Holbein paintings to explore his illustrious and international career as well as the courtly drama and radical religious change that informed his work. With rich illustration, we survey the masterful draftsmanship and almost supernatural ability to control details, from the textures of luxurious clothing to the ornament of a room, that secured Holbein’s place as one of the greatest portraitists in Western art history.His probing eye was matched with a draftsman. Along the way, we see how he combined meticulous mimesis with an inspired amalgam of regional painterly traits, from Flemish-style realism to late medieval German composition and Italian formal grandeur.During his time in England, Holbein became official court painter to Henry VIII, producing both reformist propaganda and royalist paintings to bolster Henry’s status as monarch and as the new Supreme Head of the Church following the English Reformation. His portrait of Henry from 1537 is regarded not only as a portraiture pinnacle but also as an iconic record of this transformative monarch and the Tudor dynasty. Through this turbulent period, Holbein also produced anticlerical woodcuts, and sketched and painted Lutheran merchants, visiting ambassadors, and Henry’s notorious succession of wives.

Die Graue Passion gilt als ein Hauptwerk von Hans Holbein d. Ä. (um 1465-1524) und als eine der ungewöhnlichsten Passionsfolgen der altdeutschen Kunst. Schon der Name des zwischen 1494 und 1500 entstandenen Zyklus weist auf die farbliche Gestaltung der Bildfolge hin. Ihr kommt innerhalb der europäischen Malerei eine einzigartige Stellung zu. Der vermutlich in Augsburg geborene Künstler zählt neben Martin Schongauer und Albrecht Dürer zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Malern seiner Zeit. Mit seiner Kunst steht Hans Holbein d. Ä. zwischen den Epochen, am Übergang von der Spätgotik zur Renaissance. Die Publikation verdeutlicht die künstlerische Herkunft und Wirkung der Grauen Passion durch eine exemplarische Werkauswahl der Vorgänger und Zeitgenossen Holbeins. Eine eingehende Dokumentation gibt Einblicke in die aufwendigen Restaurierungsarbeiten, die an den zwölf Bildtafeln vorgenommen wurden. Ausstellung: Staatsgalerie Stuttgart 27.11.2010-20.3.2011
