SUMMARY:: Walker Art Gallery: The Tudors: Passion\, Power and Politics
DESCRIPTION:21 May 2022—29 Aug 2022\nPresenting the five Tudor monarchs\,
  Henry VII\, Henry VIII\, Edward VI\, Mary I and Elizabeth I\, some of the
  most familiar figures from English history and instantly recognisable in 
 the portraits that have preserved their likenesses for five hundred years.
 \nDiscover the conflict\, scandal\, and secrets of the Tudor monarchs. Thi
 s blockbuster exhibition in partnership with National Portrait Gallery wil
 l reveal secrets and tell new stories about one of the most dramatic times
  of British history.\n\nFeaturing around one hundred objects with almost s
 eventy works from the National Portrait Gallery.  It is the first time su
 ch a significant number of the National Portrait Gallery’s renowned Tudo
 r portraits have been lent for exhibition.\n\nThe exhibition presents the 
 five Tudor monarchs\, Henry VII\, Henry VIII\, Edward VI\, Mary I and Eliz
 abeth I\, some of the most familiar figures from English history and insta
 ntly recognisable in the portraits that have preserved their likenesses fo
 r five hundred years. The dynasty’s reign over sixteenth-century England
 \, from 1485 to 1603\, encompassed the tumultuous years of the Reformation
 \; a literary renaissance\; conflict with Scotland\, France and Spain\; co
 nquest and colonisation in Ireland and America\; and the expansion of Engl
 and’s global reach through piracy and trade. This major exhibition at th
 e Walker will explore the Tudors from a range of perspectives. It will spo
 tlight some historically underrepresented aspects of the period\, includin
 g Black Tudor history and LGBTQ+ history.\n\nA range of iconic figures fro
 m the period will also be exhibited\, including Thomas More\, Thomas Cromw
 ell\, Mary Queen of Scots\, and William Shakespeare. Some of the works inc
 luded in the exhibition have never been shown outside of London\, includin
 g a portrait of Jane Seymour\, after Hans Holbein the Younger\, and the hi
 ghly unusual Sir Henry Unton portrait.\n\nSome highlight loans in the exhi
 bition are the Westminister Tournament Roll\, produced in 1511\, the Roll
  celebrates the birth of Henry VIII's son with Katherine Aragon\, Henry\, 
 who died in infancy. This spectacular document was last on public display 
 almost 20 years ago and never seen outside London. Another incredible loan
  is the Bacton Altar Cloth which new research suggests is an item from E
 lizabeth I's wardrobe\, making it the only known surviving example of her 
 clothing. The Bristowe Hat is also being loaned to the exhibition\, the 
 hat provides a very rare example of Tudor or early Stuart fashion. Lastly\
 , the Armada Maps will also be on display in the exhibition\, recently s
 aved for the nation\, these drawings illustrate the dramatic conflict betw
 een the Spanish Armada and English fleet off the south coast of England in
  1588.\n\nThe Walker’s show will follow a smaller exhibition of 25 works
  at The Holburne Museum in Bath in January\, with both exhibitions encompa
 ssing some of the most famous portraits from the National Portrait Gallery
 ’s Tudor collection.\n\nAccess and Facilities\n\nFind out more about our
