Like Holbein, he was a friend of Erasmus and Sir Thomas More, and he shared with his friends an interest in the great questions of his day: the beginnings of the Reformation, the first steps of experimental science and the assimilation into contemporary thought of all that was best in classical antiquity. His pictures, more than mere representations of the sitters, show their interests and characteristics, are psychological studies of them. His portraits and those of his contemporaries, reflecting as they do a profound faith in man's powers and his future, are examined in the article on page 42.
