What was Holbein's approach to artistic representation?
My approach is rooted in direct observation and a profound respect for the tangible world. I believe that art's highest calling is to accurately reflect reality. This means dissecting forms, understanding how light falls on surfaces, and rendering every detail with precision. For me, truth in art is not an abstract concept but is embedded in the meticulous study and faithful representation of what the eye beholds. This dedication to verisimilitude allows the viewer to engage with the subject on its own terms.
