He is best known as one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century AD. He also produced religious art, satire and Reformation propaganda, and made a significant contribution to the history of book design. Holbein traveled to England in 1526 AD in search of work. He was welcomed into the humanist circle of Sir Thomas More, where he quickly built a high reputation. After returning to Basel for four years, he resumed his career in England in 1532 AD. This time he worked for the twin founts of patronage, Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell. By 1535 AD, he was King's Painter to King Henry VIII. In this role, he produced portraits, festive decorations and designs for jewelry, plate, and other precious objects; Category: England Keywords: art, painting, man in rich 16th century attire Orientation: Portrait Dimensions: 1575 x 2107 (3.32 MPixels) (1.34) Print Size: 13.3 x 17.8 cm; 5.3 x 7.0 inches File Size: 9.53 MB (9,989,084 Bytes) Resolution: 300 x 300 dpi Color Depth: 16.7 million (24 BitsPerPixel) Compression: None Image Number: 0000026480c Source: Jay Robert Nash Collection |
