Fortescue follows Hans Holbein the Younger from his Augsburg family to Basel, where he illustrated Erasmus’s Praise of Folly and drew his woodcuts of death. She argues that neither Erasmus nor Holbein was Protestant at heart, then follows his work into England, with a chronological list of paintings and drawings.
