1497 1543 Circular Hans Holbein Painter Skullcap Younger
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543) at the height of his artistic career, painted by his assistant and fellow artist, Jan Cornelis Vorstermans, in 1543. Holbein, a German expatriate, had gained the favor of English royalty and was known for his innovative and meticulously detailed portraits. In this image, Holbein is depicted wearing a skullcap and a long, full beard, which was a common style among artists and scholars of the time. He gazes directly at the viewer, his intense gaze conveying a sense of intelligence and depth. The circular, white collar around his neck adds a visual balance to the composition, drawing the eye to his face. This historical portrait offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential artists of the Tudor period, whose work continues to captivate and inspire art lovers today. The intricacies of Holbein's brushwork and the subtle nuances of his subject's expression make this a must-see piece of art history.
