Did you know that the Wallace Collection houses a portrait of Jane Seymour?
Journey back to the middle of the 16th century - a tumultuous time when the fate of the Tudor dynasty hung in the balance.
Led Dr Christina Faraday, who specialises in the art and culture of Tudor England, we'll discover art’s crucial role in enabling Henry VIII, Edward VI and their advisors to navigate the most difficult Tudor decades.
We'll also uncover how art was used to communicate Tudor power beyond this period. Our investigation will reveal that just as this era fascinates us today, it proved to be appealing at the end of the 18th century when the Wallace Collection portraits of Edward VI and Jane Seymour were made.
