The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England

Inspired by the recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lecture explores the art of the Tudor Dynasty in England. The Tudors made themselves relevant and powerful with paintings, tapestries and even clothes. Covering their century-plus reign - 118 years - from the ascent of Henry VII in 1485 to the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, the lecture will explore the representations of power and majesty of the Tudor Kings and Queens.
