Summary
| Description |
English: Nicolas Bourbon. Woodcut.
The French poet Nicolas Bourbon (1503–after 1550) met Holbein when the former came to England in 1535 after being imprisoned in France for supporting religious reform. He was welcomed and helped in England by Anne Boleyn, a reformist and a patron of Holbein. This woodcut is based on a painting, now lost, or on the study Holbein made for it. The woodcut places the figure in the reverse direction, but still using the right hand to write. Of the painting, Bourbon wrote: "Hans in painting me was greater than Apelles", referring to the famous painter of Greek antiquity. References
