Hans Holbein the Younger painted textures, surfaces, and details that continued the tradition of which Northern painter?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hans Holbein the Younger was heavily influenced by the style of the Northern Renaissance, particularly that of Jan van Eyck. Both artists were known for their highly detailed and realistic depictions of textures and surfaces, as well as their use of oil paint to create luminous effects. While Albrecht Dürer was also a prominent Northern painter, his style was more focused on line and form than on highly detailed surface textures. El Greco was a Spanish painter who worked in a more Mannerist style, with elongated figures and highly stylized compositions. Masaccio was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, and a contemporary of Jan van Eyck, but his style was quite different from the highly detailed and realistic approach of Northern Renaissance painters.
