Check out the phenomenal work of this exceptional artist.
Holbein was born in Augsburg. At an early age he began to study painting with his father, Hans Holbein the Elder, a recognized artist in the Flemish tradition who was a skilled portraitist. By 1515 Holbein the Younger had established himself in Basel, Switzerland, as a book illustrator. He designed many title-page woodcuts and completed a series of pen-and-ink sketches for The Praise of Folie by the Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus. During a trip to Italy in 1518, Holbein encountered the works of the Italian Renaissance painters Andrea Mantegna and Leonardo da Vinci.

In the period 1523 to about 1526 Holbein increased his reputation as a book illustrator by a series of 51 drawings portraying the medieval allegorical theme the Dance of Death and by a series of woodcuts for the German translation of the Bible by Martin Luther.

Holbein settled in England in 1532 and began his career as a master portrait painter. His portrait of the statesman Thomas Cromwell brought the artist recognition at court, and by 1536 he was established as court painter to Henry VIII. His most significant works, the portraits of Henry VIII and his wife Jane Seymour, were destroyed by fire in 1698. Several of his portraits of other court figures, including most of Henry VIII's wives and his son Edward (later Edward VI), are still extant. The preliminary drawings for these paintings, in which Holbein combined chalk, silverpoint, pen, and other media, are among his most admired works. A group of 87 drawings is in the royal collection at Windsor Castle. Holbein died in London in 1543 during a plague epidemic.
