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.
