Hans Holbein: Revised and Expanded Second Edition Details
Review “This readable scholarly book not only situates Holbein carefully in his own time but teaches us how to read his paintings and prints in depth.” (Kenneth Baker San Francisco Chronicle)“The authors reveal a real sympathy for and an understanding of the mixed character of Holbein’s work. . . . Fresh and rewarding.” (Times Literary Supplement)“A product of the most exhaustive Germanic scholarship, this publication sets the bar anew for the study of Holbein. . . . Encased within the hard shell of this essay are excellent formal and iconographical analyses and insights available nowhere else. . . . This will remain the definitive work for some time. . . . Essential.” (R. L. McGrath Choice) Read more About the Author Oskar Bätschmann is professor of the history of art at the University of Bern and the author of Giovanni Bellini, also published by Reaktion Books.
