THE BEST ART SHOWS TO VISIT FROM OCTOBER ONWARDS
HOLBEIN AT THE TUDOR COURT
10 November 2023 to 14 April 2024
This winter, a major exhibition at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace will bring together over 100 works from Henry VIII’s court, including drawings, paintings and miniatures by Hans Holbein the Younger, drawn from the Royal Collection, one of the most important surviving groups of the artist’s work. Together, they will form the largest group of Holbein’s works from the Royal Collection to be exhibited in more than 30 years.
Holbein at the Tudor Court will highlight works from Holbein’s time at court in the first half of the 16th century when he rose to become the most important artist in Tudor England. This exhibition will tell the story of Holbein’s career in England, from itinerant artist to King’s painter, showing how the vibrant international court culture he found on his arrival in London formed a fertile ground for his future success.

The exhibition focuses on some of the key destinations depicted in Lavery’s art, from Scotland to Palm Springs, Spain to Switzerland.
