Hans Holbein the Younger (c.1497–1543) was a master of detail and one of the most celebrated portrait painters of the Northern Renaissance. Known for his striking realism and symbolic richness, Holbein captured not only the appearance of his subjects, but the depth of their character and the spirit of the age.

His portraits - often of royals, scholars, and merchants are filled with intricate textures, rich fabrics, and carefully chosen objects that hint at the sitter’s world. Every brushstroke feels deliberate, every detail steeped in story.
