<p>"Dynastic portraits," showing the royal family in group scenarios, are some of the most fascinating portraits of the Tudor era. What do they tell us about the politics of the monarchs who commissioned them? How do they seek to create certain narratives and, in some cases, rewrite history? And even if they're not depicted, how did our queens influence the art?</p><br><p>Kate and Cally will discuss four paintings that show Tudor propaganda at its finest: <a href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/401228/the-family-of-henry-vii-with-st-george-and-the-dragon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Family of Henry VII with St. George and the Dragon</em></a>; <a href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/stories/royal-portraiture/henry-vii-elizabeth-of-york-henry-viii-and-jane-seymour" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the "Whitehall Mural"</a>; <a href="https://www.rct.uk/collection/405796/the-family-of-henry-viii" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Family of Henry VIII</em></a>; and <a href="https://museum.wales/collections/online/object/41bb6c94-b7f3-3caf-ad10-d63cb2935df6/The-family-of-Henry-VIII-an-allegory-of-the-Tudor-succession/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Allegory of the Tudor Succession</em></a>.
