Generously illustrated and based on the most up-to-date research, the book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Holbein the Younger and his magnificent art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn chapters relating to artistic exchange, the contributors discuss what Holbein knew of French and Italian art and how he utilized this knowledge. Conservation and technical chapters examine the materials and techniques in the painting \u003ci\u003eThe Ambassadors\u003c\/i\u003e and documentary evidence on a series of festival paintings on canvas. Two contributors examine the artist's woodcuts, particularly \u003ci\u003eDance of Death\u003c\/i\u003e, in the light of contemporary political and theological issues. In addition, the historical and theoretical circumstances and contexts of Holbein's portraits are investigated, notably their associations with classical antiquity and its revival in humanist thought. The book also considers the impact of the first scholarly monograph on Holbein's reception and how German Romantic literary art criticism of the early nineteenth century shaped an image of his life and art.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by the National Gallery of Art, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts \/ Distributed by Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Roskill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300090447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300090444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ngw-Stud Hist Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.32h x 9.40w x 0.98d","brand":"Mark Roskill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075999199487,"sku":"9780300090444","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad37f50a-fa16-409c-8127-59174b62493f.jpg?v=1685462612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hans-holbein-mark-roskill-9780300090444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
