Hans Holbein the Elder
Hans Holbein (c. 1460 – 1524) was a German painter.
He was born in Augsburg, Bavaria and died in Isenheim, Alsace.
He and his brother Sigismund Holbein painted religious works in
the late Gothic style. Hans the Elder was a pioneer and leader in
the transformation of German art from the Gothic to the Renaissance
style.
He was also a woodcut artist and an illustrator of books. One of
his best known works in this domain is the series he did for The
Praise of Folly.
His sons Hans Holbein the Younger and Ambrosius Holbein had their
first painting lessons from him.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
