Exciting news that Yale University Press will be publishing a new in-depth biography on Hans Holbein the Younger in November 2025. The volume has been produced by Elizabeth Goldring, who has published widely on Tudor subjects including Nicholas Hilliard and Robert Earl of Leicester.
According to the book's blurb:
This landmark scholarly biography of Hans Holbein the Younger (c.1497–1543), court painter to Henry VIII, is the first in more than a century. This definitive account breathes new life into Holbein’s story. From his early days in Augsburg and Basel to his lasting impact on British art and culture, Holbein sheds light on the artist whose paintings would shape perceptions of the Tudor court for five hundred years. [...]
Beautifully illustrated, and including rarely seen paintings from private collections, this volume weaves the latest research – including new archival discoveries and scientific analysis – into a fresh examination of Holbein’s life and work.
