About This Book

A comprehensive scholarly biography and catalogue that traces the painter’s life from family origins and early training through his Swiss years and Basel citizenship to his work in England. It synthesizes archival research and recent scholarship to describe major paintings, portraits, stained-glass and book designs, and woodcut series, noting commissions, stylistic development, and artistic networks. Chapters treat fresco and civic decorations, the Dance of Death woodcuts, the Meyer Madonna and other religious works, portraits of prominent sitters, and the community of native and foreign artists active in Henry VIII’s England, and the text is illustrated with numerous reproductions and color plates.

86.  Woltmann, i. 477. Dr. Paul Ganz suggests that one of these portraits may have been the small roundel belonging to Lord Spencer, traditionally known as a portrait of Holbein, but considered by him to represent the jeweller, Hans of Antwerp. See Ganz, Holbein (Klassiker der Kunst), p. 253. This large miniature is described more fully in vol. ii. pp. 14-15.

114.  This inscription, however, is now regarded as a rather doubtful one, and it is possible that the book was never permanently in the possession of Erasmus. See Hes, Ambrosius Holbein, pp. 83-94, where the history of the book and the various theories as to its ownership and the authorship of the drawings are very fully discussed.

115.  See Ganz, Hdz. Schweiz. Mstr., note to i. 52.

116.  Dr. Hes subjects the drawings to careful analysis, and gives a complete list, together with the suggested authorship of each of them, in Ambrosius Holbein, pp. 90-94 and 161-166.

117.  Twelve of them reproduced by Ganz, Hdz. Schweiz. Mstr., i. 52; the whole set by Mantz, but so badly engraved that they are of little service for purposes of comparison; the whole of the drawings now attributed to Ambrosius by Hes, Pls. xvi.-xx., and p. 139.

118.  Dr. Hes points out the similarity of this figure to that of the schoolmistress in the “Schoolmaster’s Signboard,” and considers that Ambrosius had a share in the painting of the latter. See Ambrosius Holbein, p. 93.

119.  By Ambrosius Holbein.

120.  The name, however, was not written by Erasmus, but is a later addition.

126.  On the back of the portrait of Meyer, Holbein painted, four years later, the sitter’s coat of arms, surmounted by a scroll inscribed “I.M. 1520.” (Reproduced by Ganz, Holbein, p. 30.) There is a good old copy of the wife’s portrait in the collection of Mr. Ralph Brocklebank, Haughton Hall, Tarporley, which was previously in the William Graham collection; and a copy of both portraits in the Basel Gallery, No. 350, from the Faesch collection.

127.  According to Stödtner, these portraits show the influence of Burgkmair.
