Question

An unhappy millionaire urinates on a painting by this artist in John Michael McDonagh’s film Calvary. Fritz Grossman attributed a painting to this artist because it depicts Adam standing with his legs widely apart and shows figures like those in Christ as the True Light, one of his woodcut Icones. This artist, who names a stitch used in blackwork embroidery, painted a green tapestry decorated with griffins in a portrait that was purchased in 1661 as part of a large collection of his works by the Kunstmuseum Basel. Like Memling, Crivelli, and Lotto, this artist nicknames a style of Turkish carpet used (10[1])in his portrait of Georg Giese (“ghee-suh”). This artist painted another of those carpets in a portrait of a king with a large codpiece clutching a glove for the Palace of Whitehall. For 10 points, what 16th-century artist painted royal portraits of Christina of Denmark, Anne of Cleves, and Henry VIII? ■END■

ANSWER: Hans Holbein the Younger [or Hans Holbein der Jüngere; accept Holbein carpets; accept Holbein stitch] (The painting in the first sentence is The Ambassadors.)
