He worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school. 1497 – November 29, 1543; died at about 46. Alive at the same time as Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Niccolò Machiavelli, Ferdinand Magellan, and Michel de Montaigne. Wiki link
