The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England explores the art of the volatile Tudor dynasty, during which an international community of artists and merchants navigated the high-stakes demands of royal patrons. The exhibition brings together objects from across tumultuous Tudor reigns between the XV and the XVIIth centuries, illustrating a distinctly English artistic culture.
