The Cult of Gloriana: Art, Music And Politics at the Court of the Virgin Queen
Presented by Interntational Expert - Mark Cottle
Elizabeth I was the most remarkable woman of a remarkable age. Her reign was one of the great creative periods of English history - literature, music, art, architecture and overseas exploration all reached unprecedented heights.
With reference to architecture and gardens, this lecture will focus chiefly on the portraits, miniatures and music of Elizabeth's court.
The aim is to demonstrate great levels of artistic achievement and to interpret ideas and assumptions to recreate something of the energy, spirit, and confidence of this Golden Age.
Born on the Isles of Scilly and educated at Truro School, Cornwall, and Birmingham University, Mark Cottle has enjoyed a career in education and training at home and abroad. He has lectured at Exeter College on Medieval and Tudor history, St Mark's & St John's University College, Plymouth, and at Bath University on Anglo Saxon and medieval England. Currently Mark runs two small companies providing training and study breaks.
Time & Venue: 12:30pm and 6:00pm. Paddington Uniting Church, 395 Oxford Street, Paddington
