In 1526 Holbein travelled from Basel to England with a recommendation from Erasmus. He was born in Augsburg, learned his craft in his father's workshop and worked mainly in Basel as a young artist. There he painted murals and religious works and designed stained glass and book illustrations. In England he joined the circle of Thomas More, and by 1535 he was King's Painter to Henry VIII. He painted the royal family and nobles, and he died in London in 1543. Browse 149 works by Hans Holbein the Younger from 31 museums, free to download in HD. Source: Wikipedia
