	Hans Holbein the Younger
		Hans Holbein the Younger, German painter, favorite son of Hans Holbein the Elder, was probably born at Augsburg about the year 1497.
		Besides these, Holbein made designs for glass windows, and for woodcuts, including subjects of every sort, from the Virgin and Child with saints of the old time to the Dance of Death, from gospel incidents extracted from Martin Luther's Bible to satirical pieces illustrating the sale of indulgences and other abuses denounced by Reformers.
		Holbein, in this way, was carried irresistibly with the stream of the Reformation, in which, it must now be admitted, the old traditions of religious painting were wrecked, leaving nothing behind but unpictorial elements which Lucas Cranach and his school vainly used for pictorial purposes.
