      We hope to publish an essay on the carpet that was the prototype for this image, and which is, of course, older than the painting. Stay tuned.

      That S can be found long before this painting. Search up Carligul Ciobanului.

    Illuminating analysis. I'd never noticed the Christ before.

      Yo lo descubrí en Google art projet. En las reproducciones generalmente se lo recorta.

    Clase magistral. Y como en los videos que he visto, las voces de los especialistas con la sencillez y naturalidad que hacen tan agradable el análisis de las obras.

    Holbein was a German painter, not Swiss. He spent some years in Basel, but came from Augsburg.

    • @smarthistory-art-history
      @smarthistory-art-history  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      His professional life as an artist, prior to England, was in Basel so it seems disingenuous to call him a German artist.

    • @treehousebookshop6121
      @treehousebookshop6121 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Really? He trained in Germany, worked in Augsburg, with his German painter father...he was German. If I go and work in Paris, does that make me French? His training and background, as well as his national identity, were German - Basel was German-speaking, so it may appear to be splitting hairs in a way, but he's rarely called a Swiss painter.

    • @smarthistory-art-history

      As I understand it, Holbein left Augsburg early in his life and eventually settled in Basel when he was about 18 years old (by 1515). His father and brother also landed in Switzerland. It makes perfect sense to say that he was born and raised in Germany, but his professional career as an artist wasn't there. In a similar way, de Kooning is often seen as an American artist despite the fact that he was raised and trained in The Netherlands.

      In fact he acquired the citizenship of Basel in 1519.

      Just to sow confusion... the Tate thinks he is a British painter: "Hans Holbein (1497/8-1543) was the first great British artist, and is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time." -> www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/holbein-england

    Was he really from Swiss origin? I thought he was born in Augsburg (Germany). But other than that, a really beautiful Video, thank you for your work.

    I think the skull effect on the floor looks like a roll of thin stiffened leather skin.(e.g..goat skin)This was used to have map drawings on in centuries gone by.

    • @joekavanagh7171

      It doesn't look like a skull to me.

    There is no mention to the object behind the Jean de Diteville's feet, on the floor... Why?

    I have a friend who did a study of the skull in the painting from the perspective, pun intended, of the transformation and the mechanics used to draw it. Check it out at:
