112. The Story of Tudor Art: A History of Tudor England Through It’s Art and Objects
Henge

Christina J. Faraday, historian of art and ideas, explores Tudor England like never before, using art and objects to illuminate a fascinating age of power, scandal, and transformation. From iconic portraits of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I to tapestries, jewellery, clothing and everyday artefacts, she reveals how monarchs, courtiers, and rising professionals used objects to shape identity, status and influence. Faraday brings the sixteenth century vividly to life, offering fresh insight into its politics, society and culture — and showing that behind every painting, jewel and household object, there’s a story waiting to be discovered.
