Lecture on Holbein

Charlotte Bolland, Exhibition Project Curator, 16th Century, at the
National Portrait Gallery.  Will speak on

"'H. Holbeen inventit': Holbein's Legacy in England"
Robing Room at Freemason's Hall
60 Great Queen Street
London WC2B 5AZ.
Wednesday, 15 September 2015

Hans Holbein's portraits of the Henrician court had a fascinating
afterlife.  They came to be prized not only as depictions of
illustrious men, but also for Holbein's skill as an artist, and as a
result were frequently copied, with artists producing paintings that
faithfully mimicked both the composition and colouration of the
original portraits.  This lecture will examine how these paintings
were produced and discuss how they were perceived, because the
number of surviving works of this type suggests that there was a
lively market for such paintings during the reigns of Elizabeth I
and James VI and I.

Charlotte Bolland is Exhibition Project Curator (16th Century) at
the National Portrait Gallery.  She is currently working on the
exhibition The Real Tudors: Kings and Queens Rediscovered, which
will open at the Gallery on 12 September 2014 and is the culmination
of the seven year Making Art in Tudor Britain research project.
This exhibition will form the core of the exhibition Les Vrais
Tudors at the Musee du Luxembourg in March 2015.  Charlotte studied
for her PhD, "Italian Material Culture at the Tudor Court", at Queen
Mary, University of London, in collaboration with The Royal
Collection as part of an AHRC funded CDA.

Stations.
