Tudor Portraits
| Date | Monday 13 and Tuesday 14 May 2024 |
| Time | 18.00-20.00 BST |
| Location | Online (Zoom) |
| Speaker | Dr Christina Faraday |
The Tudor age produced some of the earliest English ‘likenesses’, from life-size images of monarchs to intimate portrait miniatures. Delve into the artistic, religious and political world of 16th-century England through a number of striking works from the Wallace Collection and beyond. You’ll uncover the meanings contributed by techniques, formats and symbols to reveal the ways that portraits were made and used by people across Tudor society – from the intimacy of the artist’s studio, to the professional setting of the livery company, and on the public stage of the royal court.
Led by Dr Christina Faraday, Research Fellow in History of Art at Gonville and Caius College, University of Cambridge, and a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker.
