🖼️ Ah, another pretentious puff piece about #Holbein, because apparently the world was just begging for another book review on 16th-century paintings 🤔. Isn't it just adorable how they think we all have endless time to pore over Tudor trivia 📚?

Bettina Pelz is a curator, teacher, researcher and writer extraordinaire of light art, who knows even more about the subject matter than I do. Way more.
