Hans Holbein Exhibition at Tate Britain

Hans Holbein (1497/8–1543) was the first great British artist, and is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time. He moved to England from Basel in 1526–8 and then again in 1532–43, an extremely turbulent time in English history when all around were losing their heads. Tate Britain presents Holbein in England, a major exhibition concentrating on Holbein's time under the patronage of Sir Thomas More and King Henry VIII. In this exclusive podcast, the curator, Dr Susan Foister, talks to Natalie Wheen.
