It's like I finished watching a movie about the Tudor's. Great summary, and a great artist that brought it all together.

I had seen pictures of his portrait of Henry VIII but never thought about the artist; very interesting.

I took more math/science/business courses in high school and college and from a lower income immigrant family so I didn't get to experience much art or spend time learning about it. As I've gotten older, I've developed a greater appreciation for art and this channel has been a wonderful resource to learn about different artists and paintings. Thank you and hope this channel gets more views and subscribers 🙏

His art in “the dance of death” is amazing. He was able to breath life into death as an ever present character in our lives

Tudors tragic, Holbein magic. Hi Rachel, I don't know how I missed this earlier, another fascinating and informative stroll through the avenues and boulevards of art and history. The importance of the reformation in freeing art, philosophy and science is often underrated... Brilliant as ever, thanks.

In a perfect world, i would have met and had conversations with this incredible man. I recently saw a picture of the restored Anne of Cleves painting and it truly is impressive.

Im just gonna say it! Every video you make your outfits are so intentional to fit the mood and tone of the artist, always love the little details and effort that goes into making the perfect videos. (Ps... where did you get that necklass)

Thank you!! We always appreciate when people notice our little efforts :) The necklace came from a small shop near Yale, all I remember is that it’s made from a repurposed plumbing apparatus!

Just within the first few minutes, I was so impressed by the stunning artworks themselves, but also how Holbein was influenced by / managed to influence culture. I've read "The Idiot" and had no idea of this link between them. As a believer, I don't blame Dostoyevsky for feeling as he did... That's just the surface of my feedback to this great video. So much to learn. 🙂

Great video as always. I'm guessing Holbein was interested in Italian Manierism, especially Titian and Lotto, by the look of his silks. Thanks for your job on this platform.
@TheArtTourist

Thank you! I think that’s a fair guess, there are definitely little hints of Mannerism in some of his paintings, and I would imagine that he was at least aware of his Mannerist contemporaries.

You forgot to point out that Holbein made his outlines by using the camera lucida. This is how he managed his marvelous painting from such a short time with the sitter. He would trace the images onto paper (these are the "sketches" that you refer to), take these cartoons back to his studio, then add the colours and the modeling from his imagination.

Erasmus von Rotterdam is a very ambivalent figure btw. He was a humanist, a pacifist and somewhat progressive thinker who criticized the church on many ocassions, but he also was an antisemite who saw the forced baptism of jews that happened due to the spanish inquisition as a way the jews would corrupt christendom from the inside and in the end the whole world. Just thought that might be important to mention, otherwise ofcourse a great video again. :)

Thank you for this context! It’s not particularly surprising given the religious climate, but it’s definitely worth adding to the conversation.

Thomas More is also a very ambivalent figure. A humanist who sent fellow Christians to torture and horrific death.

Once a female friend said to me: El que por mujeres entra por mujeres sale!!! Amazing how old the conflict of interest between religion and wealth is being going on!!! New to me that Protestant leadership had the same issues. Funny and scary at the same time. 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder how religion can have such drastic transformation in to something so sickening and nasty.
