## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Marvellous insight
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2022*

A superb insight into both Holbein, the artist, and into the world of The Tudor court. My only reservation is the limited array of illustrations. Fortunately, with an iPad to hand, you can find all the paintings that are discussed in the text. An excellent read.

    Great read…one slight niggle
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2022*

As an avid History fan that loves portraiture ‘The King’s Painter’ was a confirmed purchase.The depth of detail and insight in to Holbein’s life and work as well as his various connections to the upper echelons of nobility and royalty was exquisite. A beautifully constructed book, with stunning colourful depictions of sketches and paintings throughout.I truly loved discovering the hidden gems and meanings in Holbien’s paintings. Having been aware of the Ambassadors but not the nuance of the fine detail I felt I was gaining a whole new perspective thanks to this book.Franny Moyle has such an easy writing style, even if  (like me) you’re not an art history buff you don’t get overwhelmed by the terms and explanations.However…I struggled with Moyle’s use of a particular word…verisimilitude **internally screams at the flashbacks**. The author truly was a fan of this term. Once I pick up on something like this, in any book, I cannot un-see it and it did become really annoying. I hasten to add this is a personal peeve and most likely no one else will have picked up on it.Overall, if you have an interest in 15th-16th Century Europe, art history and the varied politics/machinations of the time then this book is for you. Franny Moyle has produced an interesting and enjoyable biography of a talented and complex artist…a gentle flick through a thesaurus would have made it a 5 star book for me.
