The works of Hans Holbein
Court Artist to King Henry VIII

Miniature of Holbein by Lucas Horenbout (his mentor)
In England, where he became court painter to Henry VIII, Holbein was known chiefly as a painter of portraits. His services were much in demand. The more than 100 miniature and full-size portraits he completed at Henry's court provide a remarkable document of that colorful period. He was paid a royal annuity of £30 but he did supplement his income by working outside the court.

An old account of his services at court relates that he painted the portrait of the king, "life size, so well that everyone who looks is astonished, since it seems to live as if it moved its head and limbs."
