The Tudors. Art and Majesty in Renaissance England
Cleland, Elizabeth, and Adam Eaker: The Tudors. Art and Majesty in Renaissance England. Exhibition: Cleveland, Museum of Art; New York, Metropolitan Museum and San Francisco, Fine Arts Museum, 2022. 352 pages, 300 colour illustrations. Hardback. 30 x 25cms. Catalogue of 123 paintings, drawings, furnishings, textiles and metalworks in the exhibition, exploring the politics and personalities of the Tudors and their use of art as a diplomatic tool. Tudor courts were truly cosmopolitan, attracting artists and artisans from across Europe, including Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8-1543), Jean Clouet (ca. 1485-1540), and Benedetto da Rovezzano (1474-1552). At the same time, the Tudors nurtured local talent such as Isaac Oliver (ca. 1565-1617) and Nicholas Hilliard (ca. 1547-1619) and gave rise to a distinctly English aesthetic that now defines the visual legacy of the dynasty.
