A woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger, depicting two angels holding banners with the name of Jesus in Greek and Hebrew. The print reflects the religious and humanist interests of the Renaissance period.
This woodcut, attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, depicts two cherubic angels holding banners inscribed with the name of Jesus in Greek (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ) and Hebrew (יְשׁוּעַ). The figures are rendered with careful attention to anatomy and drapery, typical of Holbein's style. The composition is balanced, with each angel mirroring the other in pose and expression. The letters 'AB' are prominently displayed between the figures. Holbein was a German-Swiss artist and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style. He is best known for his portraits, particularly those of Henry VIII of England and his court. Holbein also produced a significant number of religious works, including woodcuts and paintings. His woodcuts are characterised by their fine lines and detailed compositions. This print reflects the religious and humanist interests of the Renaissance period. The use of both Greek and Hebrew reflects the era's interest in classical languages and the original texts of the Bible. The image likely served a devotional purpose, intended for private contemplation or as an illustration in a religious text.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Hans Holbein the Younger
Painted Henry VIII so well that his version replaced the real king in everyone's mind. Sent to paint prospective brides. One portrait was more attractive than the person.
