Reviews
-
This is a great, thrusting codpiece of a book. It is big, bombastic and richly brocaded... I take my feathered cap off to Moyle and her publishers. This is a triumph of book-making as well as biography. This sumptuous book is a jewel in its own right'
The Times
-
Evokes the painter and his world as vividly as a Holbein masterpiece. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book is a must for lovers of Tudor history
Tracy Borman
-
Franny Moyle rediscovers the elusive man behind the most famous artworks in Tudor England. The King's Painter is full of insight into Hans Holbein's artistic process but also gives us a seat beside a man who had an access-all-areas pass to the most intimate circles in sixteenth-century Europe. This is a gorgeous book, to which I am sure I shall return again and again
Dan Jones
-
One of the great strengths of Moyle's book is that it allows you to view Holbein's enormous versatility. Ambitious [and] sumptuously illustrated
Spectator
-
Vivid, judicious and lavishly illustrated
Sunday Times
-
A lavish, unflagging catalogue and summary of the state of our knowledge of Holbein
