This winter, The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace hosts a captivating exhibition featuring 100+ works from Henry VIII’s court, curated from the Royal Collection, constituting the most extensive Holbein showcase in over three decades.
Holbein at the Tudor Court invites you to witness the artistic journey of Hans Holbein the Younger during the 16th century, portraying his rise from an itinerant artist to the king's painter in Tudor England. The exhibition unfolds against the backdrop of the vibrant international court culture of the time, highlighting Holbein's pivotal role in Tudor society.
Examining Holbein's artistic techniques, the exhibition delves into his career and illuminates the lives of those who commissioned portraits. Holbein's art was a tool in dynastic negotiations, fortified friendships, and celebrated pivotal moments such as marriages. The collection spans drawings, paintings, miniatures, and book illustrations, each portraying the stories of its subjects.
The heart of the exhibition boasts over 40 portrait drawings, featuring iconic figures like Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour, showcasing Holbein's subtle alterations and emphases that distinguished his mastery. From Princess Mary and Prince Edward to the powerful Howard family, visitors encounter the spectrum of Holbein's subjects.
The Queen’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace is located where Queen Victoria’s chapel once used to be. The chapel was destroyed in an air raid in 1940. It was developed into an art gallery in 1962 and 1997 saw a revival and modernization of the structure.
