Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543) is predominantly known for his fine portraits,
most of them of well-known historical figures of </span>Germany<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">, the Dutch-speaking
area and </span>Britain<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">.
Holbein emigrated from </span>Germany<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> (specifically from </span>Bavaria<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> via </span>Switzerland<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">) to </span>England<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
and became an extremely sought-after portrait artist there. He worked at the
royal court and in various other houses of nobility. He also painted the
likenesses of Flemish, Dutch and North German (Hanseatic) merchants.
Furthermore, he painted a touching portrait of Christina of Denmark Duchess of
Milan (</span><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://www.museumsyndicate.com/item.php?item=10543" target="_blank">http://www.museumsyndicate.com/item.php?item=10543</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">)
you declined Henry VIII's marriage proposal on which she commented that she'd
rather keep her head. </span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I believe
Christina of Denmark was slightly more tactful than that - what she said was
that if she had two heads, she would gladly place one of them at the service of
the King of England.<br>
