Painter
Hans Holbein the Younger
Painted the Tudor court, including the portrait of Anne of Cleves that Henry VIII felt had oversold her. He died of plague in London at about forty-five.
Hans Holbein the Younger was a German painter and printmaker active in Switzerland and England. He 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.
