TRANSLATING NATURE INTO ART: Holbein, the Reformation, and Renaissance Rhetoric

In this scholarly work, the author argues that by the time Hans Holbein the Younger reached England, he had developed two roughly alternative styles of representation. In this examination, Nuechterlein shows that Holbein explored how much art should look like the visible world, and in the process discovered alternative ways of making representation meaningful. Illustrated, some in color.
