About the book: Discover the life of Hans Holbein, the artist whose work has come to define the Tudor era. This biography, the first in more than a century, follows Holbein from his early career in continental Europe to his arrival in the British court and his influence on the nation's art and culture. Engagingly written and featuring many little-known paintings from private collections, as well as his iconic portraits of Henry VIII and his wives and of course The Ambassadors, this biography brings the latest archival research and scientific analysis together to create a Holbein biography for the 21st century.
