The Met: ‘Secrets of the Tudor Archives’

Dr. Elizabeth Goldring took part in a conversation “Secrets of the Tudor Archives” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York on 21 October 2022. The talk was presented in conjunction with the exhibition ‘The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England’.

What comes to mind when we think of the Tudor court? Splendor, drama, power? Artists like Hans Holbein and Nicholas Hilliard have indelibly shaped our image of this tumultuous time. During this conversation, hear from a scholar whose recent discoveries in British archives have transformed our understanding of these artists and their royal sitters.
