Hans Holbein From Holbein Und Seine Zeit Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Hans Holbein: From Holbein Und Seine Zeit

His altar-piece at Darmstadt - better known to the world by the excellent copy at Dresden - was painted before he was thirty years of age, yet it ranks next to the work of Raphael and there can be little doubt that had the grand picture of The Family of Sir Thomas More been pre served to this time, we should have possessed a group of portraits, which, both in composition and painting, would have been of surpassing interest and of the greatest merit.
