| | NG London/Press/'Grünewald and his Contemporaries Paintings from the Kunstmuseum, Basel' |
 | | A delightful portrait of a woman, 'The Wife of Jörg Fische'r, by Hans Holbein the Elder (1460/5 - 1524) will be shown in the exhibition, along with a portrait by his son, Ambrosius Holbein (c.1494 - 1519), the brother of Holbein the Younger, probably depicting Jörg Schweiger. |
 | | Also in the exhibition are a number of works from the second decade of the 16th century: dramatic paintings of martyrdom by the Swiss artists Niklaus Manuel Deutsch and Hans Fries, which contrast with the charming and romantic depiction of Orpheus lulling the animals to sleep by their contemporary Hans Leu. |
 | | The core of the original Amerbach collection is the body of work by Hans Holbein the Younger, which is still one of the main attractions of the museum. |
