The Guardian's art critic Jonathan Jones published a piece over the weekend regarding his search for Holbein's bones. As readers will know, Holbein is said to have died of the plague in 1543. He was working for the court of Henry VIII at the time and lived in London. His body is said to have been laid to rest in common burial pits, the exact same fate of Mozart's earthly remains hundreds of years later.
