Hans Holbein the Younger

…

…flavored portraits are warm and honest, luminous and sensitive. His subjects present an image of history portrayed through those who lived it. Wherever he went, he studied the shapes of every detail of every object. One of the aspects Holbein did not create was the emotional or expressive sense in his artwork, except for the painting of his abandoned family. Holbein died in London in 1543 during the plague epidemic, also known as the Black Death.
