Benedikt von Hertenstein (born about 1495, died 1522) 1517 Object Details Title: Benedikt von Hertenstein (born about 1495, died 1522) Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98–1543 London) Date: 1517 Medium: Oil and gold on paper, laid down on wood Dimensions: Overall 20 1/2 x 15 in. (52.4 x 38.1 cm); painted surface 20 3/8 x 14 5/8 in. (51.4 x 37.1 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Rogers Fund, aided by subscribers, 1906 Accession Number: 06.1038 In 1517 Holbein decorated the house of the Lucerne magistrate Jacob von Hertenstein. Concurrently, he made this portrait of the magistrate's eldest son, Benedikt, who engages the viewer both with his direct glance and the inscription, which reads as if he is speaking: "When I looked like this I was twenty-two years old." Following these words is the declaration that "H.H." painted the work. The artist’s use of paper mounted on wood is unusual but not unique. He initiated the portrait as a drawing on paper and then continued working it up in oil colors to its completion. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436657

Portrait of a Man in a Red Cap,1532–35 Object Details Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98–1543 London) Date: 1532–35 Medium: Oil and gold on parchment, laid down on linden Dimensions: Overall, with engaged frame, diameter 5 in. (12.7 cm); painted surface diameter 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Bequest of Mary Stillman Harkness, 1950 Accession Number: 50.145.24 Holbein painted this small roundel about 1532–35, after his return to England. The young sitter can be identified as a court official, for he wears the livery of Henry VIII, with the initials H[R] for Henricus Rex embroidered in black on his red coat. The frame is original and the reverse is painted black and decorated with engraved circles. It is possible that the portrait, which is in excellent condition, originally had a protective painted lid. Such intimate portrait capsules were easily portable, as well as more affordable than larger-scale likenesses. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436660

Edward VI (1537–1553), When Duke of Cornwall Artist: Workshop of Hans Holbein the Younger Date: ca. 1545; reworked 1547 or later Medium: Oil and gold on oak Dimensions: Diameter 12 3/4 in. (32.4 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: The Jules Bache Collection, 1949 Accession Number: 49.7.31 Label: Edward, the sole legitimate son of Henry VIII, was born on October 12, 1537 and crowned Edward VI in 1547. This portrait shows the future king at age six, when he was still the Duke of Cornwall. It was subsequently adapted in costume to reflect Edward’s stature at the time of his coronation. The roundel format and the sitter’s profile pose evoke the coinage of classical antiquity, admired at the Tudor court. The panel was once considered an autograph work by Holbein. Technical evidence, however, suggests it was painted after his death by a workshop assistant, based on an earlier design by the master.

Hermann von Wedigh III (died 1560) 1532 Object Details Title: Hermann von Wedigh III (died 1560) Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98–1543 London) Date: 1532 Medium: Oil and gold on oak Dimensions: 16 5/8 x 12 3/4 in. (42.2 x 32.4 cm), with added strip of 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) at bottom Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Bequest of Edward S. Harkness, 1940 Accession Number: 50.135.4 During his second sojourn in England (1532–43) Holbein made portraits for a new clientele, the German merchants of the Hanseatic League, whose guildhall was located in the London Steelyard. The sitter, whose ring displays the arms of the Wedighs of Cologne, is probably Hermann von Wedigh III, portrayed at age twenty-nine. The Latin quotation on the sheet of paper in the foreground, reading "Truth breeds hatred," comes from a Roman comedy popular among Humanists, Andria by Terence. The inserted slip of paper could thus refer to the book’s content and perhaps have served as the sitter’s personal motto. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436658
