Close up of review paragraph reading: Two new books offer a welcome contribution to our understanding of this fractured legacy. Christina Faraday's lively history of the Tudor visual world examines not just the 'fine arts' of painting and sculpture, but the wider decorative arts, bringing in works as diverse as manuscripts, samplers, armour and candle-snuffers to tell the story of art between the accession of Henry VII in 1485 and the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. Elizabeth Goldring has produced a superb biography of Hans Holbein the Younger. While many important studies have focused on Holbein's work in either Basel or England, Goldring looks at his life as a whole and draws new information from scant archival sources.

Delighted with The Story of Tudor Art’s latest review in the current issue of the @lrb.co.uk! www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

There's still time to book for my in-person study course at Madingley Hall, a beautiful Tudor manor house in Cambridge, next weekend! We'll be diving deeper into the stories behind some of the artworks in my book The Story of Tudor Art. Join me here: www.pace.cam.ac.uk/courses/tudo...

An excellent research opportunity for someone - the collections at Chatsworth really wonderful and significant.

St Peter's, Raunds is known for its fabulous 15thC wall paintings which include the remnants of what must have been an enormous rood.
Six angels remain surrounding where the crucifixion would have been sited, it's still incredibly impressive.

Haha, probably, though Katherine actually adopted the English spelling herself when she arrived in England so in this case I think it’s justified!

Tonight! I’m very excited to talk about five fascinating Tudor women and the way they used art to shape their identities.

@cjfaraday.bsky.social, I finished The Story of Tudor Art! It was fabulous. I especially loved the chapters on Mary I's art and the evolution of religious #art. #Tudors #history #Renaissance

Hooray! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻

How Tudor England coped with culture shock Christina J. Faraday’s history of the period through objects reveals the extent to which art underwent a revolution, writes Edward Town

‘By the time Elizabeth I’s reign ended, [artists] had attained a status in society that would have been difficult to imagine when the queen’s grandfather Henry VII took the throne in 1485.’

Edward Town on culture shock in Tudor England

Giving this a boost. Grateful for the suggestions so far and wondering if anyone has additional ideas.

What do we know about interactions between #earlymodern elites and the people who helped manage their property and interests?

Outside the Level 2 Reading Room in @bodleian.ox.ac.uk there is a wellbeing display. Here are some it's little zines that genuinely made me smile.
