Birgitta Hoffmann
During the 16th century, Scotland, and especially the Central Belt saw an outppuring of art, resulting in paintings and architecture such as the ceiling in Stirling and the sculptures at Edzell gardens. Much of this was focused at the Royal courts and palaces. What made this sudden wealth possible? Where did the inspirations come from and what role did the French connections of the Stuarts play? We are going to explore the cultural, economic and political context of the art works.
