Holbein: Portraits and Power presents Hans Holbein the Younger as a master who bridged Renaissance art and the practical world of Tudor England.

This readable portrait of a genius shows how Holbein’s realism and wide range of skills shaped a pivotal era.

The book traces his rise from Basle to London, where his portraits captured rulers, merchants, and scholars with unflinching clarity. It explains how his work for the Steelyard and English patrons helped redefine the public image of power in the 16th century, while also detailing the risks and rewards of navigating a shifting cultural landscape.

Across essays and plates, you’ll meet Holbein as draughtsman, decorator, portraitist, miniaturist, and designer. You’ll see how he turned observation into enduring images that survive through fire, neglect, and time. The narrative also surveys his relationships with Erasmus, More, and other luminaries, showing how their circle influenced his art and career.

A clear look at Holbein’s methods and his commitment to truth in portraiture.
Context on the Renaissance’s reach into England and the rise of a commercial art world.
Insights into the artist’s patrons, travels, and the leading figures he portrayed.

Ideal for readers curious about how art meets history, and for anyone who wants a accessible guide to Holbein’s life and legacy.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a deep dive into the life and work of the celebrated 16th-century artist, Hans Holbein the Younger. Often compared to his contemporary, Albrecht Drer, the author argues that Holbein's work points to a shift away from the Renaissance style into the emerging era of commercialism. The author explores how Holbein's art was influenced by the social and political climate of his time, with particular focus on his paintings of the Tudor court. The book also examines Holbein's work as a designer, engraver, and book illustrator, highlighting the versatility of his artistic talent. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the ways in which Holbein's insights into the Tudor world continue to inform our understanding of that fascinating era.
