The Holbein Chamber at Strawberry Hill House and Garden is currently home to 15 portraits of kings and queens that are on loan from the Dulwich Picture Gallery, including this 17th-century portrait of Anne Boleyn. It was wonderful to finally get to see this in the flesh!

My new book 📕 The Story of Tudor Art 🌹 comes out on 25th September. It’s the first book ever (!!) to look at art from across the whole sixteenth century in England and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Red book cover with gold lettering, titled The Story of Tudor Art. Instead of O’s, two portrait miniatures with Elizabeth I and the artist Nicholas Hilliard. In white at the bottom the words “A history of Tudor England through its art and objects”
