Summary "Holbein der jüngere" by H. Knackfuß is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and work of the renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger, a significant figure of the German Renaissance. It likely provides insights into his artistic development, influence, and the context of his creations, enriched with illustrations of his artworks. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for a comparative analysis of Hans Holbein the Younger and Albrecht Dürer, another prominent artist of the time. The text discusses Holbein's artistic lineage, referencing his father, Hans Holbein the Elder, and highlights the transition of both artists from Gothic to Renaissance styles. The passage introduces the reader to aspects of Holbein's early artistic endeavors, his relationships, and the themes present in his work, especially regarding the human figure and religious subjects. The foundation is laid for a deeper exploration of Holbein's contributions to art and the evolution of his style. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
