| Summary | "Hans Holbein" by Arthur B. Chamberlain is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the life and artistic contributions of the renowned painter Hans Holbein the Younger, whose career significantly spanned from the late 15th century into the mid-16th century. Chamberlain explores Holbein's influences, including his father's artistic legacy, as well as his interactions with significant figures of the Renaissance, especially during his time in England. The opening of the text lays the foundation for Holbein's biography, detailing his origins in Augsburg and his initial artistic influences from his father and various Italian masters. It highlights his relocation to Basle, where he became involved in the vibrant arts scene influenced by the Humanist movement and established relationships with notable scholars such as Erasmus. This section serves to contextualize Holbein’s ascent and foreshadows his future impact on the art world, setting the stage for a deeper examination of both his personal and professional journey throughout the book.
