Admirers of the works of Hans Holbein will have major exhibitions in both London and Frankfurt this winter! The Städel Museum will be opening their latest show next week dedicated to Holbein and the Renaissance in the North.
According to the museum's website:
It was a turning point in the history of art: Renaissance painting. What had begun in Italy developed into something completely new in Northern Europe in the works of the painters Hans Holbein the Elder (ca. 1464–1524) and Hans Burgkmair (1473–1531), pioneers of this singular art. Its centre was the free imperial and mercantile city of Augsburg, which became the capital of a German—but also an international—Renaissance within just a few decades. None other than Hans Holbein the Younger (1497–1543), one of the German Renaissance’s greatest painters, would ultimately make this art known throughout Europe.
The show will run from 2nd November 2023 until 18th February 2024.
