The king's painter : the life and times of Hans Holbein / Franny Moyle. by Moyle, Franny. Abrams Press, 2021. Call #: 709.0240943 H723m Subjects Holbein, Hans, 1497-1543.   Holbein, Hans, 1497-1543 -- Criticism and interpretation.   Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547 -- Friends and associates -- Portraits.   Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547 -- Art patronage.   Portrait painting, German -- 16th century.   Painters -- Germany -- Biography.   Great Britain -- Court and courtiers -- Portraits. ISBN:  9781419749537 (hc.) Alternate title:  Hans Holbein Description:  xii, 380 p. : col. ill., ports. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "Hans Holbein the Younger is chiefly celebrated for his beautiful and precisely realized portraiture, which includes representations of Henry VIII, his advisors Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, his wives Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves, and an array of the Tudor lords and ladies encountered during the course of two sojourns in England. But beyond these familiar images, which have come to define our perception of the age, Holbein was a multifaceted genius: a humanist, satirist, and political propagandist, and a deft man whose work was rich in layers of symbolism and allusion. In 'The King's Painter,' biographer Franny Moyle traces and analyzes the life and work of an extraordinary artist against the backdrop of an era of political turbulence and cultural transformation, to which his art offers a subtle and endlessly refracting mirror. It is a work of serious scholarship written for a wide audience."--From publisher. Franny Moyle is a British television producer and author.
