The hand behind it
Hans Holbein the Younger
Hans Holbein the Younger was one of the finest portrait painters who ever lived. His faces are drawn with great precision, set against plain blue or green backgrounds, with every fur trim, ring and document painted crisply. He was born in Augsburg, the son of the painter Hans Holbein the Elder, and made his early career in Basel, where he painted Erasmus. In 1526 he went to England with an introduction to Thomas More, and from 1535 he was King’s Painter to Henry VIII. His best known works include The Ambassadors (1533) in the National Gallery, London, and the image of Henry VIII that still defines the king. He died in London in 1543. His portraits of German merchants in London, such as Derich Born, show his skill with a single sitter: steady gaze, sharp detail, nothing wasted.

Questions
How is the finish priced?
The price you see is the painting at the size you chose, in the finish you chose, and it updates as you change either. Rolled arrives in a protective tube, ready for local framing. Stretched arrives on wooden bars, ready to hang. Framed arrives in its frame, ready to hang. Stretched and framed go up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36 in); larger paintings travel rolled.
How long does it take?
Painting begins after you order and takes 3 to 4 weeks, including drying and the photo you approve. Delivery then takes 4 to 10 working days to most countries. More on delivery times.
Will it look exactly like the original?
It is painted by a person, so no. Brushwork varies between copies, which is the difference between a painting and a poster.
What if I do not like it?
Ninety days from delivery, full refund.
Can I get Darmstadt Madonna in a different size or shape?
Yes. Darmstadt Madonna is painted to the size you want, in the original’s proportions, or adapted to another shape on request. Stretched and framed go up to 60 x 90 cm (24 x 36 in). The original measures 146.5 x 102 cm (57.7 x 40.2 in).
