| Opplysninger | "Rooted in the idea that Britain has always been a complex network of people, places, and ideas, this accessible and exciting book proposes a new history of art for the British Isles At the Tudor court we see how Henry VIII embraced Europe and how his daughter, Elizabeth I, set her sights on the world. As Ireland was colonised and England and Scotland formalised their union, we look at how Imperial Britain kept expanding. America, India, Africa-it considers how Britain's world colonisation impacted artists and looks at how art was acquired, traded, and looted by explorers, travellers, merchants, the military, and the navy. It follows artists into the British Empire and considers how they responded to Imperialism and the slave trade, and how artists have processed the end of empire and postcolonialism.
