The Printed Image in Shakespeare's London
-
This is a past event
The Department of History of Art and the King's Museum Lecture and Events series is pleased to present the fourth talk in the 2013/2014 programme:
A free lecture looking at the ways in which printed images circulated, and were encountered, in late Elizabethan and Jacobean London. From the ‘particular ballad else, with mine own picture on the top’ imagined by Shakespeare’s Falstaff, to the ‘bawdy pictures’ of the friar and the nun mentioned in Jonson’s The Alchemist, such artworks were a feature of cultural and social life in the city, and were used to persuade and entertain a broad urban audience along moral, political and religious lines.
All welcome!
