HOLBEIN, Hans the Younger
Hans Holbein the Younger; German: Hans Holbein der Jüngere; c. 1497 – between 7 October and 29 November 1543) was a German painter and printmaker of Swiss descent who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called „the Younger“ to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school. (wikipedia)
