Produktbeschreibung
* Sumptuous art, jewelry and clothing of the Court of the first Monarch of Scotland, England and Ireland * Rehabilitates the reputation and legacy of the son of Mary, Queen of Scots * Packed with a fascinating range of paintings and dazzling objects * Uncovers the story and atmosphere of a crucial time in British history * Published to accompany an exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery from June 2020 A dazzling selection of art, jewelry, clothing and objects that reflect the dynamic Court of King James Vi & I. Ruler, scholar, politician, poet, theologian, father, husband and patron of the arts - James VI and I assumed all of these roles. The only son of Mary, Queen of Scots and her second husband Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, James grew up during one of the most turbulent periods of Scottish history. He became King of Scotland at a year old and took control of his kingdom in 1581. Under the Union of the Crowns in 1603, he became the first monarch to reign over the three Kingdoms of Scotland, England and Ireland. This book uncovers the cultural riches of James's court and aims to rehabilitate James's reputation - and to demonstrate his impact and legacy on early modern Britain. The pages are packed with dazzling art works and sumptuous objects.
