The range and assurance of this book will commend it to historians and the interested general reader alike.

The National Portrait Gallery has such an important collection of sixteenth-century portraits that a whole gallery, known as The Tudor Gallery, is devoted to them.

This collection was published to coincide with the West End run of the Death of England trilogy which ran from July to September 2024 at London's @sohoplace.

Drawing on the pictorial resources, this book offers a presentation of a key historical era.
