Sheet Size: Height 52.7 cm x Width 42 cm. About: Hans Holbein the Younger was born in Augsburg Germany in 1497, a painter and printer working in the Northern Renaissance style. Considered one of the pre-eminent portrait painters of the 16th century In 1526 Holbein travelled to England and quickly build a reputation as a fine portraitist. He then spent four years in Basel returning to England in 1532 to work for Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell. This led to him becoming the King’s Painter to Henry VIII of England in 1535. Holbein produced portraits and designs for numerous objects as required by Henry VIII such as jewellery, plates and frescoes. Importantly his portraits of the royal family and nobles record the court in the years when Henry was asserting his supremacy over the Church of England. Holbein is acknowledged as drawing with precision and a strong likeness to his subject whilst interweaving layers of symbolism within his work. This portrait of Henry VIII is a fine example of this practice the original painting was later destroyed by fire in 1698.

  • After Giuseppe Cesari (1568-1640) After St George Slaying the Dragon
    By Giuseppe Cesari
    Located in Sydney, NSW
    About the Painting: St George Slaying the Dragon is a genre painting derived from the legend, St George, a soldier venerated in Christianity who battles and defeats a dragon. The tale recalls a dragon who extorted a village of their worldly possessions, once the villagers had depleted all their livestock, money and trinkets they began to sacrifice humans to the dragon as a tribute once a year. The villagers were content with the arrangement until a princess was chosen as the next offering. St George then rescues the princess and ultimately he slays the dragon, thus liberating the oppressed villages. A moral anecdote of good over evil and a genre work that has been explored by artists since its conception, with iconography throughout European art movements for hundreds of years and still up until this day.
