Lot 378
Oil on panel with important period ebonized and gilded Flemish frame: 30 x 22 cm, measurements: 63 x 60 cm framed. Hans Holbein the Younger (Germany, 1497–1543) was a prominent German painter and engraver who, in addition to being one of the masters of 16th-century portraiture, designed book covers, stained glass windows, and jewelry. Hans Holbein lived during the times of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, he joined it and there he obtained numerous clients such as Erasmus of Rotterdam. It was he who recommended him to go to England to make a living, and he found a wealth of patrons, from Thomas More to Anne Boleyn or Thomas Cromwell. King Henry VIII appointed her as his official painter and there she was able to give free rein to his creativity and talent. Not only did he make hundreds of portraits, of which he was already a master, but all kinds of themes. He often introduced all kinds of symbolism, trompe l'oeil and experiments in the paintings alongside those portrayed. Of unusual realism for the time, his painting was extremely precise. Thanks to him we know what Erasmus or More were like (those portraits are fucking photographs), but apparently Holbein was too much of a perfectionist and was never completely satisfied with his work. Every hair, every pore of skin, every thread of a dress was important. Reference bibliography: Foister, Susan; Ashok Roy; & Martyn Wyld. Making & Meaning: Holbein's Ambassadors.
