If you can find it, English Icon is fabulous for the period you want. I believe it's by Roy Strong (it's at home, I'm here and I haven't looked at it for a while). The up side: it's got practically every portrait you've ever wanted painted in England in the 16C. The downside: that it's been out of print forever, it's hard and expensive to find and it's all in black and white. I lucked out and bought a first edition from someone's library before they put it up for sale several years ago. Even then, it was pricy.

Can anyone make some similar recommendations for the sixteenth century? I'm especially fond of England and Flanders between 1530 and 1580, but anything from about 1470 to 1600 interests me as well. I have a copy of the German Housebook and Holbein's Dance of Death, which are really cool, but I'd love to know of anything else out there.
