Hans Holbein the Younger was German painter; draftsman; and designer renowned for the precise rendering of his drawings and the compelling realism of his portraits. Holbein was one of the greatest portraitists and most exquisite draftsmen of all time. He was associated early on with the Basle publishers and their humanist circle of acquaintances. In Basle; Holbein was also active in designing woodcuts for title pages and book illustrations. He increased his reputation as a book illustrator by a series of woodcuts for the German translation of the Bible by Martin Luther. Holbein acted not only as a portraitist but also as a fashion designer for the court. The artist made designs for all the state robes of the king; he left; in addition; more than 250 delicate drawings for everything from buttons and buckles to pageant weapons; horse out-fittings; and book-bindings for the royal household.
