Tudor Court And Its World: The Paintings, Drawings and Miniatures of Holbein and Hiliard

Presented by Mark Cottle

The Tudor court comes vividly to life through the works of Hans Holbein, under Henry VIII, and Nicholas Hilliard, under Elizabeth I. Together, they transformed the English art scene. Holbein set new standards in portraiture with his powerful drawings and delicate miniatures. Hilliard established the miniature as “England’s greatest contribution to the art of the Renaissance” (Sir Roy Strong), a form that dominated until the advent of photography in the 1840s. Without them, English art would be far poorer.
