A black cap covers his head, a dark collar and grey-blue gown frame the grey hair at his cheek, and wine-red sleeves show at his wrists. In one hand he holds a pen over lines of handwriting on an open book with red edges, and gold rings set with dark stones sit on the fingers of both hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe year 1523 comes from the painted page, which carries the opening of Erasmus's commentary on the Gospel of Mark, finished that year. The Kunstmuseum Basel notes that the Louvre's version shows almost the same pose with a curtain and wood panelling added behind. Bonifacius Amerbach bought this one in 1542 directly from Holbein's wife, while the painter was in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: mixed media on paper mounted on a fir panel, 1523; Kunstmuseum Basel, Basel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHans Holbein the Younger (c. 1497–1543) was a German painter of the Northern Renaissance, born in Augsburg. He trained in the workshop of his father, Hans Holbein the Elder, and then in Basel, where he made portraits, religious paintings, stained-glass designs and woodcuts for printers. Backed by Erasmus and Thomas More, he went to England in 1526 and settled there in 1532, becoming King's Painter to Henry VIII by 1535. He is known for precise portraits of Erasmus, More, Henry VIII and members of the Tudor court, for The Ambassadors (1533) and for the Dance of Death woodcuts. His work is held by the National Gallery, London, the Kunstmuseum Basel and the Frick Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
