A Magical Mystery Tour: The English Miniature from the Tudors to the Victorians

Event Date: 22nd October 2024
A Magical Mystery tour

Join us for a delicious 2-course lunch followed by a fascinating lecture with historian Mark Cottle, taking a dive into the intriguing world of the English Miniature.

From Holbein to the arrival of photography, the English have always kept a special place in their affections for the miniature.  No other country has supported such an unbroken succession of miniature painting for so long. More closely bound up with people’s lives than any other art form, these portraits provide a keyhole into the lives of Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians and Victorians.

We’ll take a tour through three centuries of wonderful portraiture and the changing ages they represent: a tapestry of English history seen through the eyes of its miniaturists.
