The Tudors' Portrait Artist: Holbein

<p>How we visualise the Tudors largely comes from their portraits painted by Hans Holbein the Younger.&nbsp; Between 1526 and 1543, he captured the elite of the Tudor court and beyond - Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Thomas Cromwell, politicians, courtiers, soldiers and countless others.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>Every Holbein portrait seems to have begun with a drawing taken at a live sitting. An exhibition of these drawings in now on at Buckingham Palace and allows us to see Holbein’s process at work.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb tours the exhibition with its curator Dr. Kate Heard and art historian Dr. Elizabeth Goldring.&nbsp;</p><br><p>This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.</p><br><p>Discover the past with exclusive history documentaries and ad-free podcasts presented by world-renowned historians from History Hit.
