The effect is both frivolous and terrifying beseeching its audience to react emotionally. It was produced as memento mori to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain the glories of earthly life. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme apart from 14th century Triumph of Death paintings was a now-lost mural at Holy Innocents' Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424 to 1425.</p><p>Hans Holbein the Younger Hans Holbein der Jüngere; c. 1497 – between 7 October and 29 November 1543 was a German-Swiss painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art satire and Reformation propaganda and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.</p><p>Holbein was born in Augsburg but worked mainly in Basel as a young artist. At first he painted murals and religious works and designed stained glass windows and illustrations for books from the printer Johann Froben. He also painted an occasional portrait making his international mark with portraits of humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam. When the Reformation reached Basel Holbein worked for reformist clients while continuing to serve traditional religious patrons. His Late Gothic style was enriched by artistic trends in Italy France and the Netherlands as well as by Renaissance humanism. The result was a combined aesthetic uniquely his own.</p><p>Holbein travelled to England in 1526 in search of work with a recommendation from Erasmus. He was welcomed into the humanist circle of Thomas More where he quickly built a high reputation. He returned to Basel for four years then resumed his career in England in 1532 under the patronage of Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell. By 1535 he was King's Painter to Henry VIII of England. In this role he produced portraits and festive decorations as well as designs for jewellery plate and other precious objects. His portraits of the royal family and nobles are a record of the court in the years when Henry was asserting his supremacy over the Church of England.</p><p>Holbein's art was prized from early in his career. French poet and reformer Nicholas Bourbon the elder dubbed him "the Apelles of our time" a typical accolade at the time. Holbein has also been described as a great "one-off" in art history since he founded no school. Some of his work was lost after his death but much was collected and he was recognized among the great portrait masters by the 19th century. Recent exhibitions have also highlighted his versatility. He created designs ranging from intricate jewellery to monumental frescoes.</p><p>Holbein's art has sometimes been called realist since he drew and painted with a rare precision. His portraits were renowned in their time for their likeness and it is through his eyes that many famous figures of his day are pictured today such as Erasmus and More. He was never content with outward appearance however; he embedded layers of symbolism allusion and paradox in his art to the lasting fascination of scholars. In the view of art historian Ellis Waterhouse his portraiture "remains unsurpassed for sureness and economy of statement penetration into character and a combined richness and purity of style'.</p><p>Renowned for his Dance of Death series the famous designs by Hans Holbein the Younger 1497–1543 were drawn in 1526 while he was in Basel. They were cut in wood by the accomplished Formschneider block cutter Hans Lützelburger.</p><p>William Ivins quoting W. J. Linton writes of Lützelburger's work wrote:</p><p>"'Nothing indeed by knife or by graver is of higher quality than this man's doing.' For by common acclaim the originals are technically the most marvelous woodcuts ever made."</p><p>These woodcuts soon appeared in proofs with titles in German. The first book edition containing forty-one woodcuts was published at Lyons by the Treschsel brothers in 1538. The popularity of the work and the currency of its message are underscored by the fact that there were eleven editions before 1562 and over the sixteenth century perhaps as many as a hundred unauthorized editions and imitations. Ten further designs were added in later editions.</p><p>The Dance of Death 1523–26 refashions the late-medieval allegory of the Danse Macabre as a reformist satire and one can see the beginnings of a gradual shift from traditional to reformed Christianity. That shift had many permutations however and in a study Natalie Zemon Davis has shown that the contemporary reception and afterlife of Holbein's designs lent themselves to neither purely Catholic or Protestant doctrine but could be outfitted with different surrounding prefaces and sermons as printers and writers of different political and religious leanings took them up. Most importantly "The pictures and the Bible quotations above them were the main attractions … Both Catholics and Protestants wished through the pictures to turn men's thoughts to a Christian preparation for death.".</p><p>The 1538 edition which contained Latin quotations from the Bible above Holbein's designs and a French quatrain below composed by Gilles Corrozet 1510–1568 actually did not credit Holbein as the artist. It bore the title: Les simulachres & / HISTORIEES FACES / DE LA MORT AUTANT ELE/gammēt pourtraictes que artifi/ciellement imaginées. / A Lyon. / Soubz l'escu de COLOIGNE. / M.D. XXXVIII. "Images and Illustrated facets of Death as elegantly depicted as they are artfully conceived." These images and workings of death as captured in the phrase "histories faces" of the title "are the particular exemplification of the way death works the individual scenes in which the lessons of mortality are brought home to people of every station."</p> John Scott & Thomas Ostell. hardcover

In-4 gr. (mm. 353x245), mz. pelle con ang. coeva (lievi abras.), dorso a cordoni con ricca decoraz. e tit. oro, tagli dorati, cc.nn. 71, intervallate da 84 magnifiche tavole di ritratti inc. in rame e colorati a mano, ad imitazione dei disegni originali di Holbein. In Indice ne sono indicati solo 80, gli altri 4 sono: di Holbein e sua moglie, di Henry e Charles, figli di Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. In questa splendida collezione, le illustrazioni sono stampate su carta pesante bianca o color rosa (come gli originali), sempre precedute da un foglio bianco di protezione, e sono accompagnate da una biografia del personaggio. I disegni originali si devono al grande artista tedesco Hans Holbein il Giovane (1497-1543) che divenne pittore aulico di Enrico VIII (dopo il 1532) e “nei suoi ritratti mostra una finezza di indagine psicologica e una precisione tecnica superiori a quelle che si riscontrano nel padre, Hans il Vecchio”. Così Diz. Treccani,V, p. 787. A distanza di due secoli, l’iniziativa di raccogliere i magnifici ritratti di importanti personaggi della corte di Enrico VIII e di trarne delle tavole incise fu di John Chamberlaine, antiquario inglese vissuto tra il XVIII e l’inizio del XIX secolo, mentre le note biografiche sono a firma di Edmund Lodge. "Seconda edizione" con le tavole della prima del 1812. I ritratti su carta bianca hanno il bordo del margine bianco annerito per ca. 15 mm. (non quelle su carta rosa); solo 1 tav. con fiorit., altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.
