"Christ as the True Light" (circa 1526) is a notable work by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance known for his precise and detailed portraitures as well as religious artworks. This piece is emblematic of Holbein's skill in blending Northern Renaissance artistry with elements of the Italian Renaissance, which he absorbed during his travels.

The painting depicts Jesus Christ as the source of spiritual illumination, a common theme in Christian iconography, which refers to Christ's role as the bringer of divine truth and wisdom to humanity. The artwork is characterized by Holbein's meticulous attention to detail and his use of symbolism, which was typical of the period. The use of light and shadow not only highlights the figure of Christ but also serves to emphasize the theological concept of Christ as the spiritual light that dispels the darkness of sin.

While the exact location and ownership of the original artwork may not be well-documented, "Christ as the True Light" is an important example of Holbein's religious works and contributes to our understanding of the artist's oeuvre and the religious sentiments of the time. Holbein's portrayal of religious figures was influential in shaping the visual language of the Reformation and the evolving religious culture of 16th-century Europe.

As with many works of art from this period, the provenance and historical context of "Christ as the True Light" provide insight into the religious, cultural, and artistic milieu of the time. Holbein's work reflects the transition between the late Gothic tradition and the emerging Renaissance style, marking a significant period in the history of European art.
