Title: Hans Holbein the Younger and His Paintings.
Post by: Jimbee on 01/02/2024 05:02:58

How did Han Holbein the Younger (c. 1497-1543) get his paintings to look so realistic, like the attached one of Sir Thomas More? They look like photographs. That's amazing. I've seen no other painting that looks like that, so realistic.

@Jim
What a Splendid piece of Art.
Lovely!

Can't imagine how much Time it would have taken for that Portrait.

Painting non-stop for several hours
vs
Sitting Still & holding that pose
