Reviews
Holbein the Younger, who was dead by the age of forty, was one of the greatest masters of portraiture to have every lived. A master of line, he is not only good, but mysteriously good; someone capable of giving a nuanced likeness of often expressive human faces with little more than an outline and some accurately-drawn features in the right places--one of those artists whose style makes you think, "Hey, why can't *I* do that?!"This book provides a massive collection of his work for you to figure out how he did what he did and without a collection this large, it becomes easy to see the commonalities shared by all his work. You just have to look for them.I love the thing.
