This sketch of Queen #AnneBoleyn by Hans #Holbein the Younger is often dismissed as being her owing to the apparent fair hair of the sitter. However, the Italian engraver Francesco Bartolozzi had access to Holbein’s sketches before 1797, and he captured the sketch labelled Anne in colour. If we look at the colours Bartalozzi applied, we can see browns, reds, and blacks, with lighter areas of yellow peeping through as highlights. Bartolozzi’s colour rendering fits with the recent research complet

DOSTOYEVSKY • NIETZSCHE Hans Holbein the Younger painted The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb in 1521-1522, a shockingly horizontal image, about 30.5 × 200 cm, that forces you to look at Christ as an actual corpse, not a symbol. It’s in Kunstmuseum Basel, and the date and Holbein’s initials are even painted into the work. When Fyodor Dostoevsky saw it in Basel in 1867, his wife Anna wrote that he stood in front of it “as if stunned,” then insisted on returning to look again. The encounter ech

In the 21st century, we often hide death away in hospitals and funeral homes, unlike the people of Holbein's time who saw it daily. Yet, the Dance of Death remains strikingly relevant as a piece of social philosophy. #danceofdeath #GothicDecor #gothicart | Vile Eight

This might be the most brilliant painting ever made. At first glance, it’s a portrait of two powerful men. But Hans Holbein the Younger turned it into a profound visual puzzle about life, death, and faith.

From Art Into Art on Instagram: "The Dance of Death, or Danse Macabre, is an artistic motif from the Late Middle Ages which personifies death as a human skeleton, looming among all walks of life. The motif is meant to serve as a cautionary reminder that death comes for us all, indiscriminate of wealth, power, class, or age. The skeletons are traditionally depicted dancing among the populace, arm in arm with popes, kings, queens, knights, and peasants alike. The jovial nature of death is a warnin
