HOLBEIN, HANS, the younger (1497-1543), German painter, favourite son of HansHolbein the elder, was probably born at Augsburg about the year 1497.
Holbein, in this way, was carried irresistibly with the stream of the Reformation, in which, it must now be admitted, the old traditions of religious painting were wrecked, leaving nothing behind but unpictorial elements which Cranach and his school vainly used for pictorial purposes.
Then Holbein painted Jane Seymour in state (Vienna), employing some English hand perhaps to make the replicas at the Hague, Sion House and Woburn; he finished the Southwell of the Uffizi (copy at the Louvre), the jeweller Morett at Dresden, and last, not least, Christine of Denmark, who gave sittings at Brussels in 1538.
Hans first appears at Augsburg as partner to his brother Sigismund, who survived him and died in 1540 at Berne.
Hans had the lead of the partnership at Augsburg, and signed all the pictures which it produced.
After 1516 HansHolbein the elder appears as a defaulter in the registers of the tax-gatherers at Augsburg; but he willingly accepts commissions abroad.
