Art and Communication in the Reign of Henry VIII, (Hardcover)

Through in-depth analysis of a wide variety of works of art, including portraits, pageants, and prints, Tatiana String analyzes Henry VIII's use of art to communicate with his subjects. Looking at Henrician England as a case study, String enriches our understanding of the fundamental contribution of imagery to communication, and provides a model for the study of the dissemination of ideas and the patron-artist relationship in other courts and historical periods.
