This weeks chapter examines four bust years in the story of our city- culminating in the first death by shooting in its history; along the way we explore a country descending into resentment, resignation and eventually rebellion as Henry VIII descends into tyranny. We explore the seeming madness of his actions, from the speed and ferocity with which he turned on Ann Boleyn, to the dramatic sudden marriage to Lady Jane Seymour, to suddenly being married to a German princess…Along the way we look as the city copes with massive rebellions in the north, violent turmoil in Calais, and crucially, explore why the city itself remained peaceful- discovering that while the king increasingly gave way to his own dark passions, perhaps driven there by a near fatal accident, London's mercers and others began to look to each other for continuity.Cover includes detail from the portrait of Queen Jane Seymour by Hans Holbein the Younger.
We return with the story as we examine the circumstances that saw a drastic change in fortunes for the cities two most powerful residents- for Thomas Cromwell? His rise in power and status, and his leaving of a physical mark upon the very fabric of the city.For Thomas More? The opposite. The driven man, rushing headlong towards his own death, the circumstances of his life making it impossible to avoid.And around this, a city on the edge of panic, the politics of the new Queen, and much more, as the Story of London reaches the end of the saga of ‘The Boy from Milk Street'.Cover features the Portrait of Thomas Cromwell, attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, c.1533, Frick copy of original.
Surprisingly, the forces that drove the most dramatic changes in England, were born, cultivated and found expression within London. The Story reaches a moment of grand political crisis- Chancellors fall, parliament flexes its muscles, the capricious King makes up arguments as he goes along, and London carries on, providing intellectual and emotional fuel for it all. And while this happens, Thomas More, the judge from Milk Street, ascends the highest position in all the land, while still presiding over cases of London criminality, and being the face of the kings sudden desire to start killing heretics… welcome to the open salvos of the Reformation.Cover includes a detail of the portrait of Sir Thomas More, by Hans Holbein the Younger (1527),
A episode that explores one thing above all else- the rather soap opera type melodrama of Henry VIII seeking to end his marriage to Catherine of Aragon; but while this story dominates domestic and to a degree international politics over these years there is more than just that happening… London has to cope with drought and food shortages, a brutal outbreak of Sweating Sickness, and a growing campaign of religious dissent within the city. A fraught two years indeed…Cover includes sketch by Hans Holbein the Younger, recently identified by one team as possibly being that of Anne Boleyn; this claim is contested by many.
From bellringing to beekeeping - Author Helen Bain talks about the highly detailed research she conducted for the writing of her The Daffodil Days, inspired by Ted Hughes and Sylvia Pllath's year in North Tawton in Devon in 1962, and on why she has told the story in reverse, through the observations of the locals who came into contact with them at the time. Hue & Cry, who first made their name in the mid 80s and who won the Outstanding Contribution prize at last year's Scottish Music Awards, are back with a new single, a 16th studio album and a UK tour. We speak to brothers Pat & Greg Kane about their four decades in the music business, and about fusing acoustic and synth technologies and the duo perform one of their biggest hits in the Front Row studio. At the height of the AIDS crisis in the 1990s, American photographer Catherine Opie honoured members of the gay community with portraits inspired by court artist Hans Holbein. Since then she's become known as an "all-American subversive" for her groundbreaking depictions of queer America. A retrospective of her work - To Be Seen - which also features a new commission of a portrait of Sir Elton John and his family - has opened at the National Portrait Gallery in London and she joins us live to talk about it. Plus the Artistic Director of Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum Theatre, James Brining, and The Scotsman's theatre critic, Joyce McMillan, discuss the theatre's decision not to let critics from UK-wide media in to review the world premiere of the new stage production One Day, adapted from David Nicholls' bestselling book.

Hans Holbein was undoubtedly our window into the court of King Henry VIII. His remarkable portrait collection allows us to see who the figures of the Tudor court were, from Henry VIII's queens to his political enemies, lawyers, churchmen and much more.

From Holbein's early life to the methods he used, to symbolism in his imagery, all will be discussed, so settle in as Elizabeth and I explore the life of the 16th centuries greatest artist.
In this episode Natalie Grueninger interviews Dr Elizabeth Goldring about her new biography 'Holbein: Renaissance Master'. They trace Hans Holbein's journey from Augsburg and Basel to Tudor England, his key patrons including Erasmus and Thomas More, his role at Henry VIII's court, and his lasting impact on portraiture and Tudor culture.

In April 1532, Sir William Pennington was cut down on the very edge of Westminster sanctuary—and his killers walked away with a manslaughter verdict, a £1,000 pardon, and glittering careers. In this Tudor true-crime deep dive, I unpack the fight, the politics, and the legal loopholes that made it possible. What's inside: The argument and fight, from Westminster Hall to the sanctuary precinct How sanctuary should have worked—and how it was bent The official indictment vs. Carlo Capello's explosive diplomatic report Cromwell's intervention and the price of a royal pardon Holbein's 1537 portrait: the scar carried from the fight What this case tells us about power, patronage, and Tudor justice Sources & further reading: Shannon McSheffrey, “The Slaying of Sir William Pennington: Legal Narrative and the Late Medieval English Archive" - https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/flor/article/view/21566/25053 Venetian ambassador Carlo Capello's report, Calendar of State Papers Relating To English Affairs in the Archives of Venice, Volume 4, 1527-1533, 761 - https://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-state-papers/venice/vol4/pp331-334 Hans Holbein: preparatory sketch & portrait of Richard Southwell (1537) - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Hans_Holbein_d._J._060.jpg and https://www.rct.uk/collection/912242/sir-richard-southwell-15023-1564 If you enjoy Tudor true crime & deep dives into the records, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell.

Hans Holbein's Tudor masterpiece known as the Ambassadors was painted in 1533, the year when Henry VIII changed the course of history. Religious turmoil sweeps through Europe and Anne Boleyn is Queen of England. Two Ambassadors choose to capture this pivotal moment of religious and political upheaval, but who were they and what did they want this painting to convey? In today's episode we join Tracy Borman, Chief Historian, as she explores the painting known as The Ambassadors, by Hans Holbein. You can view The Ambassadors in high resolution here. Thank you to the National Gallery for letting us record in front of the painting.
Anne Boleyn portraiture remains a fascinating but highly contentious subject! We are blind as to what Anne Boleyn truly, beyond all doubt looked like, due to a lack of confirmed contemporary portraits of her, but there is a sketch in the royal collection, drawn by Hans Holbein which for many historians is categorically Anne. I have always struggled to accept this conclusion and so I am thrilled that todays guest, Karen L Davies not only agrees, but has produced a mountain of extremely compelling evidence to back it up. In the process, she has also landed on a theory surrounding a sketch long suggested to portray Amalia of Cleves, that it could, in fact be the face of Anne Boleyn all along! So sit back and listen in as Karen dismantles much that has been said by historians, hopefully kickstarting a reassessment of Anne's image.
Hans Holbein's masterwork The Ambassadors is an exquisite portrait of two 16th-century diplomats. But, as well as being artistically impressive, the painting is also crammed with symbols and hidden messages. This Long Read written by historian Tracy Borman deciphers the clues hidden in Holbein's work that betray the turbulence of a fateful year.

Henrik VIII lät halshugga två av sina fruar och flera av sina närmaste medhjälpare när han tröttnade på dem. För många historieintresserade i hela världen är han urtypen för en tyrann som det var bäst att hålla sig på långt avstånd från. Samtidigt står det klart att Henrik var en härskare som gjorde stor skillnad: han stärkte den engelska statsmakten på ett avgörande sätt och kapade banden till påvekyrkan. Vem var han egentligen?Henrik VIII var mycket mer än en livsfarlig hustrudödare och radikal kyrkopolitiker. Han var ett barn av renässansen och hade stora kulturella intressen, vilka imponerande på omgivningen. Som exempel kan nämnas hans musikalitet: han var en skicklig tonsättare, och hans verk spelas fortfarande. Han älskade vildmarksliv och torneringar, skrev teologiska traktater på latin och hävdade sitt lands intressen på kontinenten med kraft.I mångt och mycket var Henrik VIII – och är fortfarande – en imponerande gestalt. Men det vilade en mörk skugga över hans levnad och hans regering. Oförmågan att få en manlig arvtagare som kunde garantera att dynastin Tudor inte dog ut gjorde Henrik rastlös och farlig, och sviterna av en torneringsskada gav honom hälsoproblem som aldrig löstes. Kort sagt, berättelsen om Henrik VIII rymmer både glänsande och tragiska element. I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om den engelske kungen Henrik VIII, en av den europeiska historiens mest mytomspunna gestalter.Musik: Henry VIII Pastime with Good Company, performed by the dws Chorale.

As a novelist, Jonathan Lethem is basically a genre all his own. His books mash up literary fiction and pulp into disorienting but engaging combinations, for which he's won both a MacArthur Grant and the National Book Award. Since the success of Motherless Brooklyn in 1999, he's published many very well received novels—including The Fortress of Solitude in 2003 and Brooklyn Crime Novel, from last year—as well as many more short stories and essays for places including the New Yorker, Harper's and Rolling Stone. And it turns out he's written a lot about art too—enough in fact, to fill an entire volume. Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture, published this summer by ZE Books, is its own type of unexpected hybrid of writing. It spans genres, containing short stories, essays, and criticism, as well as types of art, its essays hopping between his reverence for a Hans Holbein at the Frick and respect for the “scratchiti” artist Pray. Part of the joy of the book is Lethem's determinedly eclectic and personal taste, giving his attention to both names you know and obscure children's book authors or indie comics artists. Among other things, Cellophane Bricks offers Lethem's personal recollections of growing up around artists, including his father, painter Richard Lethem, in the grassroots alternative art world rooted in the collective spaces of a pre-gentrified Brooklyn. He also writes of the ethos of the graffiti-art world around his brother, Blake "KEO" Lethem. Aside from a spirit of unconventionality, the biographical material may seem to come from another world from the delirious and sometimes fantastic short fictions in the volume, mostly written for artist catalogues for the likes of Nan Goldin, Jim Shaw, and Fred Tomaselli and gathered here for the first time. However, these also embody an ethos that clearly relates to the communal creative scenes of his youth: Lethem insists on only offering short stories as catalogue contributions, paying with his art, while accepting only artworks in return as payment. There's more still to Cellophane Bricks: essays on what it means to live with art, and varied reflections on what art and literature, word and image, bring to each other. Introducing Lethem at an event recently at the Brooklyn Public Library, the art critic Dan Fox said that, as a novelist, Lethem had left the same kind of indelible mark on how people see Brooklyn that Warhol had on Manhattan. With Cellophane Bricks, he is leaving his imprint on the art world. A footnote for the future: The book is nicely illustrated with pictures of the eclectic work it describes, and next year, the art from Cellophane Bricks the basis for a show that will be at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College in Southern California. “Jonathan Lethem's Parallel Play: Contemporary Art and Art Writing” is described as “a chronicle of an author who roams among visual artists,” and ill feature art by Gregory Crewdson, Rosalyn Drexler, Charles Long, and others. Look out for it.

I dive into an intriguing Tudor mystery sparked by a question from Chris Celsie about a ring supposedly given to Anne Boleyn by Henry VIII. This diamond ring was displayed at an exhibition in Toronto in 1994 as Anne's engagement ring. But did such a ring really exist? What We Know: - Exhibition Clue: The Toronto Star article mentioned an engagement ring given to Anne Boleyn by Henry VIII. - Historical Records: Engagement rings weren't a common tradition in Tudor times. - Jewels for Anne: Henry VIII lavished jewels on Anne, with documented purchases and gifts. Historical Findings: - Eric Ives' Biography: Details on Anne's jewellery, including pieces set with diamonds and rubies. - Holbein Designs: Jewellery designs by Hans Holbein the Younger featuring Anne and Henry's intertwined initials. - Inventory Lists: Items from Henry VIII's inventory featuring the “HA” motif. Digging Deeper: - Books and Research: No direct mention of a diamond engagement ring for Anne Boleyn. - Lost Treasures: Many jewels given to Anne are now lost, including rings with the “HA” initials. Uncover the mystery with me as we explore the historical records, dive into the inventories, and piece together the story behind this enigmatic ring. Did Henry VIII really give Anne Boleyn a diamond engagement ring, or is it a modern-day myth?

During episode 208 we made fan art inspired by the latest installment of the Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon. John English and Adam Gustavson discuss topics ranging from composition to capturing great photo reference for your art. John delivers a detailed history class on artist Hans Holbein the Younger.
There are two sketches by Hans Holbein which are said to depict Anne Boleyn. One is in the British Museum, while the other is in the royal collection. The latter sketch is the more controversial, as the sitter is in a state of undress, has what appears to be blonde hair and a decidedly full double chin, and yet, the inscription labelling the sketch as her, is believed to have been added by Sir John Cheke, a man who personally knew Anne Boleyn, or did he? In todays episode of the Tudor Chest podcast, I am chatting to Emma Demerath who recently graduated from John Cabot University in Massachusetts, with a degree in Art History. Emma has discovered holes in many of the conclusions historians have made in relation to this sketch, but moreover, has examined the imagery on its reverse, which may very well hold the key to identifying the actual sitter of the piece.
This week's topic of discussion is Holbein's masterpiece from one of the most important years in British history – 1533. This was the year that Henry VIII broke from the Catholic church, married Anne Boleyn and had a daughter who would become one of England's most popular monarchs, Elizabeth I... Support the Show.
Wir springen in dieser Folge ins Jahr 1538, als Hans Holbein der Jüngere sich von London nach Brüssel aufmacht, um dort Christina von Dänemark, Nichte des Kaisers Karl V. zu porträtieren. Im Gegensatz zu seinen üblichen Arbeiten, wird es aber keine Auftragsarbeit der Porträtierten sein, sondern erfüllt einen ganz anderen Zweck. Wir werden über Christina von Dänemark, Hans Holbein und Heinrich VIII. sprechen um herauszufinden, welchen Zweck dieses Gemälde tatsächlich hatte – und ob es ihn auch erfüllte. //Literatur - Julia Mary Cartwright Ady.

How we visualise the Tudors largely comes from their portraits painted by Hans Holbein the Younger. Between 1526 and 1543, he captured the elite of the Tudor court and beyond - Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Thomas Cromwell, politicians, courtiers, soldiers and countless others. Every Holbein portrait seems to have begun with a drawing taken at a live sitting. An exhibition of these drawings in now on at Buckingham Palace and allows us to see Holbein's process at work. In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb tours the exhibition with its curator Dr. Kate Heard and art historian Dr. Elizabeth Goldring.

Spontanverliebt oder vor Schreck ohnmächtig: Die Werke von Hans Holbein bestechen bis heute. Er hat eine Maria mit Jesuskind gemalt wie sonst niemand in Deutschland.
The Tudors are one of the most well-known of the English royal dynasties for several reasons: the larger than life characters, the multiple marriages and Virgin Queen, and the extraordinary portraits. When Hans Holbein the Younger became Henry VIII's painter, he helped create an image of the king that has shaped our understanding of the Tudors. Franny Moyle joins us to share her research into how Holbein helped create the legacy of Henry VIII.Show Notes:Carol Ann Lloydwww.carolannlloyd.com@shakeuphistorypatreon.com/carolannlloydThe Tudors by Numbers, published by Pen and SwordFranny MoyleFrannymoyle.comThe King's Painter: The Life and Times of Hans Holbein(Can buy dedicated copy of the UK hardback, which has the best images, on her website)@frannymoyleCreative Director: Lindsey LindstromMusic: History by Andy_Grey via Audio Jungle, Music Broadcast LicenseLet's shake up history together!@shakeuphistory
He is the man to whom all historians and fans of Tudor England owe an enormous debt. Without the work of Hans Holbein, we wouldn't know what practically all the key players of King Henry VIII's court looked like. As a fabulous new exhibition is launched at the Queens Gallery, Buckingham Palace, featuring many of Holbeins original sketches, portraits and creations, there is no more apposite time than to look back at the life of this most iconic Tudor artist, the man who gave us a front row seat to the court of King Henry VIII.
This week: live art and activism. Performance art has long been used as a vehicle for protest and political activism and now, in its tenth edition, the Performa Biennial in New York has a new programme dedicated to artists exploring the subject. Protest and Performance: A Way of Life, which started as part of the 19-day festival this week, features eight events involving artists from across the world but with particular links to the Middle East, While it was programmed months ahead of the present war in Gaza, it has inevitably gained further relevance. We talk to Defne Ayas, the senior program advisor, and Kathy Noble, the senior curator at Performa, about the programme. In the UK, the National Trust, which looks after historic buildings and landscapes across Britain, has become the subject of a row between its current management and campaigners who argue that it has strayed from its essential remit. The Art Newspaper's associate digital editor, Alexander Morrison, speaks to Martin Drury, a former director-general of the Trust, about why it has prompted such an intense debate. And this episode's Work of the Week is Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of Derich Born from 1533, a newly restored painting that features in an exhibition at the Queen's Gallery in London, one of the principal venues for the UK's Royal Collection. The show, Holbein at the Tudor Court, is curated by Kate Heard, and she tells us about the picture.Performa Biennial 2023, New York, until 19 November. Visit performa2023.org for details of events in the Protest and Performance strand.Holbein at the Tudor Court, Queen's Gallery, London, until 14 April 2024 Hosted on Acast.

Hans Holbein the Younger painted The Ambassadors in 1533. It is a massive, life sized double portrait filled with symbolism that gives us insights into the political and religious upheaval of the day. Still today, it is probably best known for the anamorphic skull cutting across the floor in the composition. In the Ambassadors, Holbein presents the symbol of mortality as a specter that looms ever present though sometimes difficult to make sense of. It can feel like an odd intrusion disrupting a picture carefully and beautifully constructed but if we shift our view a little we can see that nothing lasts forever. Life and the world are constantly changing but there can be a beauty in that too if we can bring ourselves to look at it from the right perspective.

In today's episode, The Stinas explore the mysterious portraits adorning the walls throughout the Owens residence on Magnolia Street. They discuss Maria's painting as mentioned in the books and take note of a possible plot hole in the portrait's traveling capabilities! They explore more Titanic connections that lead them to believe that Rose was in fact a long lost Owens ancestor. No episode is complete without a deep dive into the movie scenes - The Stinas explore each portrait peppered throughout the film and the artists who painted them. However, most of the paintings in the film remain a mystery and many questions still beg to be answered - What are they called? Who painted them? What are their origins? And WHY were they chosen for the film? Do they hold greater significance to the Owens storyline, than meets the eye? And that's not all! The Stinas explore Princess Sybille of Cleves, the subject of the film's most noteworthy paintings, as well as her entire family of royals during the rule of Henry VIII- not to mention one of history's juiciest catfishing schemes! Artists explored in today's episode are Barthel Bruyn the Elder, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Hans Holbein the Younger, Pietro Antonio Rotari, and Rembrandt Peale!

When historians first made the link between a book of hours at Trinity College, Cambridge and two others belonging to Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn, they weren't just identifying who owned it. Yes, yes - the book was owned by Henry VIII's right-hand-man (for a time, at least): Thomas Cromwell. But this remarkable book has now become the only object from any 16th-century portrait to survive to this day. What can such an item tell us about the man who owned it, his times, and what he wanted everyone who saw his portrait to know? Today's artwork(s): Hans Holbein the Younger, Portrait of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex (1532-33). Oil on panel, 30.7 in × 25.2 in. Frick Collection, New York. AND the 1527 Book of Hours, on display at Hever Castle through November 2023. __________ New episodes every month. Let's keep in touch!

Using Tudor portraiture as our guide, let's explore the origin of some of the Palace's ghostly tales and the lives at the center of them. Today's images: Jane Seymour (unfinished), after Hans Holbein the Younger (1537). Oil on panel. National Portrait Gallery, London. Jane Seymour, by Hans Holbein the Younger (1536/37).
