RSVP before the event.
Hans Holbein the Younger was among the most skilled, versatile, and inventive artists of the 16th century. He created captivating portraits of courtiers, merchants, scholars, and statesmen in Basel, Switzerland, and later in England, as court painter to Tudor King Henry VIII. Enriched by inscriptions, insignia, and evocative attributes, his portraits celebrate the individuals’ identities, values, aspirations, and achievements.
This docent-led talk we’ll explore this Northern Renaissance artist whose distinctive style has given us the defining portrayals of such notable figures as Sir Thomas More, Erasmus and Thomas Cromwell.
