Description
David Howarth's Images of Rule explores the significant role visual arts played in shaping Great Britain's politics during the Tudor and early Stuart monarchies. This authoritative account examines how art was used to reinforce power, with a focus on its public uses and political exploitation.
The images of the Royal court serve as the foundation for this cultural and political history of Renaissance Britain. Howarth delves into the ways in which portraiture, architecture, decorative arts, and spectacle were employed to preserve England's status quo.
