Hans Holbein the Elder (1460-1524)

• He was a German painter.
• He had two sons, both artists and printmakers: Ambrosius Holbein and Hans Holbein the Younger.
• He made a number of portrait drawings that foreshadow the work of his famous son, Hans Holbein the Younger.
• After 1516 Holbein was declared a tax defaulter in Augsburg, which forced him to accept commissions abroad.
• His brother Sigismund and others sued him in Augsburg for unpaid debts.
• Pursued by Augsburg authorities, he fled Issenheim, abandoning his work and equipment, and went to Basel.
• He died two years later at an unknown location.
• After 1524 his name no longer appeared on the register of the Augsburg guild.
• The displayed painting is a crop from: Hans Holbein the Elder, Mary as A Mother of Sorrows, 1495.
