Más información sobre el libro
A collection of portraits made during Hans Holbein’s time as the leading artist at the court of Henry VIII. Hans Holbein the Younger (1497–1543) first went to England in 1526, and by 1535 he was King’s Painter to Henry VIII. Holbein at the Tudor Court focuses on the internationally significant collection of portraits by Holbein from that period that is part of the Royal Collection. Along with beautiful reproductions of Holbein’s drawings, miniatures, and paintings, the book offers an introductory essay as the artist of the Tudor court in England, as well as a series of entries on individual works. It delivers insights about the portraits and their subjects, and it also brings in voices from the period, as found in letters, poems, administrative records, and diplomatic accounts, to bring the world of the sixteenth-century English court to life.
