This acclaimed, richly illustrated book by Oskar Bätschmann and Pascal Griener – now available in a revised and expanded Second Edition – is a major advance in our understanding of Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8–1543), one of the most admired painters of the Northern Renaissance. The authors re-examine every aspect of Holbein's remarkable career, in which they take full account of the artistic and cultural influences that affected the artist, such as his friendships with leading humanists Erasmus and Sir Thomas More, and cast fresh light on many hitherto vexing questions.

Reviews for Hans Holbein Hb
Oskar Bätschmann and Pascal Grieners Hans Holbein . . . is a major contribution to the understanding of 16th-century humanist art.
The Independent on Sunday
The authors reveal a real sympathy for, an understanding of, the mixed character of Holbeins work . . . The book is extremely well illustrated and has very good colour plates . . . With much that is fresh and rewarding, this is one of the most welcome of the books published in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Holbeins birth.
The Times Literary Supplement
The authors successfully interweave Holbeins versatility, his artistic creativity and the recognition he was afforded by his contemporaries.
The Times Higher Education Supplement
Like only a few other painters in history, Holbein made the human likeness seem to erase the distance between his time and ours . . . This readable scholarly book not only situates Holbein carefully in his own time but teaches us how to read his paintings and prints in depth.
