Registration via Eventbrite is required and opens on 20th March. Tudors Now! is convened by historian of art and ideas, Dr Christina Faraday This series is open to all and no prior art historical knowledge is necessary. We will also consider the period’s beliefs about mental images and the role of the senses in communication, offering a deeper, theoretical basis for the analysis of Tudor art, rooted in the period’s theories about the mind. It will foreground the interaction between images and issues such as religion, social status and gender. This discussion with three leading scholars and curators will explore exciting recent scholarship on the decorative arts, including interior decoration, wood, plasterwork and textiles. For many people Tudor art means portraits, but this session will show that there is far more to the period’s visual and material culture.
