Elizabethan Treasures

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, miniature painting was regarded as an art form at which the English excelled above all others, and Nicholas Hilliard (1547? – 1619) and Isaac Oliver (c.1565 – 1617) gained international fame and admiration. This catalogue from the exhibition Elizabethan Treasures: Miniatures by Hilliard and Oliver (2019), will explore what these exquisite images reveal about identity, society and visual culture in Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
