Thank you Janet for sharing this.
I see that there is a book on the collection, Holbein in
England. Has anyone here seen the book, and is it worth getting
for those rarely seen images, like the ones that for copyright
restriction is not on the website?
I saw the exhibit this weekend, and got this book. I agree with
Suzi, it has excellent images, many full-page and very clearly
reproduced. It has all the images (I think) and yes, there are a
bunch of sketches and some portraits not usually reproduced in other
books. There's also a good selection of non-portrait works, designs
for jewelry and covered cups and such.
And looking at Amazon.com, I see the author, Susan Foister, has
another book that is thicker
Holbein and England (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies)
Does anyone know of any details on this book?
It's like the catalogue, but I believe it covers all of Holbein, not
just his years in England. It's at least two inches thick. I thought
about getting it, but it was expensive and I thought it might put me
over my luggage weight limit (no kidding!).
Glad you got to see the exhibit. Did you take as long as us, or were
you able to drag yourself away? I just love those drawings - so much
detail, and so much more "real" than the oil paintings.
