Summary "Hans Holbein the Younger, Volume 2 (of 2)" by Arthur B. Chamberlain is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the life and contributions of the renowned painter Hans Holbein the Younger, particularly emphasizing his connections with prominent figures and themes in art during the period of the Renaissance, including his relationship with the German merchant community in London, known as the Steelyard. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Steelyard, detailing its significance as a rich trading corporation in London and Holbein's work among its members. It describes Holbein's return to England after a period in Basel and his subsequent focus on painting portraits of key members of the Steelyard, such as Georg Gisze and other merchants. The text showcases the historical context surrounding the art, including the socio-economic dynamics of the time, and sets the stage for an exploration of Holbein's detailed and lifelike portraiture that defines his legacy.
