	CGFA- Bio: Hans Holbein the Younger
		Hans Holbein the Younger (1497?-1543) was a German artist, one of the most accomplished masters of Renaissance portraiture, and a designer of woodcuts, stained glass, and jewelry.
		In the period 1523 to about 1526 Holbein increased his reputation as a book illustrator by a series of 51 drawings portraying the medieval allegorical theme the Dance of Death and by a series of woodcuts for the German translation of the Bible by Martin Luther.
		Regardless of Holbein's prestige, however, as the austere attitudes of the Reformation further permeated Swiss society, artistic patronage diminished, and he was forced to go to England to gain new commissions.

		Holbein makes her reserved, yet she has humour and eccentricity, playing with her squirrel, which, after all, was safer than catching the eye of Henry VIII.
		Holbein plays on stillness and motion, contrasting the static severity of the woman's pose with the antics of her pets.
		Inspirations and influences: Holbein's portraiture is part of a northern European preoccupation with the depiction of the person that includes Dürer's portraits and the works of his father, Hans Holbein the Elder, who trained him.

		One of Holbein's first jobs in England was to prepare a large portrait of that other great scholar's family, and some detailed studies for this work are still preserved at Windsor Castle.
		His main job, however, was to paint portraits of the royal household, and it is due to Holbein's unfailing eye that we still have such a vivid picture of the men and women of Henry VIII's period.

		It has always seemed difficult indeed,to ascribe such excellent creations to Holbeins nineteenth year; and it is hardly credible that he should have been asked to do things of this kind so early, especially when it is remembered that neither he nor his brother Ambrose were then allowed to matriculate in the guild of Basel.
		Not till 1517 did Ambrose, whose life otherwise remains obscure, join that corporation; Hans, not overburdened with practice, wandered into Switzerland, where (1517) he was employed to paint in the house of Jacob Hertenstein at Lucerne.
		In 1519 Holbein reappeared at Basel, where he matriculated and, there is every reason to think, married.

	Octavo Editions: Holbein Icones
		Hans Holbein (1497-1543) designed his series of ninety-four illustrations at roughly the same time as his familiar suite of forty-one engravings of The Dance of Death, between 1525 and 1530, in Basel.
		The 1520s were a period of violent religious controversy in Switzerland, and Holbein’s timeless images of the Old Testament contrast strikingly with the prevailing sectarian war of words over the other, later Testament.
		But the images are best seen in the little Lyon editions, with their ample margins and brief, deferential text, where Holbein’s extraordinary economy of line and command of perspective can be admired without distraction.

		Holbein is probably best known for his painted portraits, but I find that it is his "preparatory" drawing that fascinates me most.
		Holbein had great technical skill but if it were not for his creativity, his drawings would be stiff and lifeless, void of the feeling and character that makes them so pleasing.
		Holbein's work is a wonderful record of the Court of Henry VIII that rivals even our cameras of today.
