And the consensus is that these exceptions (such as Holbein or Vermeer) used technological tricks to aid them.

Vermeer is suspected to have done so and even da Vinci and Hans Holbein are sometimes proposed.

Anyways, Holbein the Younger kicks most of them into space, except for Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

Man that rendering of Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of Thomas Cromwell is god-awful.

Hans Holbein plays a part as Henry's favourite painter and this is how I learnt about him.

Manet and Holbein are more my thing, or Morandi on certain occasions.

I think Holbein just wanted to show off his mastery of the gimmick to other artists?

The article mentions 'The Ambassadors' by Hans Holbein The Younger.

Is there record from Holbein of this choice?

For a fit of double-irony, they no longer manufacturer them in Germany and they are instead made in Japan under license by Holbein (who also makes amazing pencils for art use).

Add to that the Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough at the Pasadena Huntington and anything by Hans Holbein the Younger such as the portraits of Sir Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell at the Frick Collection.

One of the more famous examples of this is the strange object in the foreground of The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein the Younger [0], which resolves as a skull when viewed from the correct angle.

Hans Holbein’s “The Ambassadors” [1] is the one that immediately comes to mind.

Seeing an image of the dead Christ from Holbein [1]: "At that painting!" the prince suddenly cried out, under the impression of an unexpected thought.

Speaking of Holbein and bones, that anamorphic skull in his famous painting "The Ambassadors" has always made me feel simultaneously puzzled, annoyed, curious and amazed.

His pitch for Holbein paints is just that they’re “reasonably priced and a little goes a long way.” > In his notes, Miyazaki purposely leans into sounding old and stuck in his ways.

Realism was in vogue at the time but there weren't many other artists who were as good as Hans Holbein.

But then again I'm not surprised, Holbein's portrait sketches show every individual hair on a subject's head.

Holbein was a master, head and shoulders above most of his contemporaries.
