The 16th century is anachronistic. If we were to undertake the history of its avatars through the ages, taking into account its delayed artistic productions, we would find that it curiously overlaps ours; and even, that it reveals it to us by having been its construction site. Thus, the work of Hans Holbein, virtual, in potential, will have waited for our postmodernity to release its symbolic energy. One could say in a way that Holbein was influenced by Andy Warhol, as if he had sensed a postmodern reading of his works. This book is an essay in reverse art history, which substitutes reductive determinism with the liberating magnetism of a future gaze: ours.
