Question

Would you class Hans Holbein as a portriture artist..??

Thanks if you give an answer. x x x

Answer 1

The German artist and printer, Hans Holbein (the Younger), worked in a style known as Northern Renaissance, if my contextual studies notes are to be believed (they are quite old themselves). He's best known for numerous portraits and a woodcut series based on the Dance of Death, he was considered one of the best portraitists of the 'Early Modern Period', so yes I would consider him a portraitist.

Look at these sites too....
