Dr Richard Williams
Hans Holbein redefined the image of kingship for Henry VIII and brilliantly captured the pre-eminent personalities of the early Tudor court.
This course will consider Holbein鈥檚 earlier development as a pioneering German artist who engaged with new cultural influences of the Renaissance. It will then explore his two visits to England in the context of new developments in sculpture, architecture, printmaking, and other art forms. This flourishing artistic culture will be set against the backdrop of revolutionary political change and violent religious conflict.
