About this listen

New portrait discoveries are always exciting, and when its a controversial figure from the reign of queen Elizabeth I and moreover one that may have been the gay lover of William Shakespeare, that's even more exciting! I am speaking of the recent discovery of a miniature by Nicholas Hilliard of Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. Today I am thrilled to welcome back art historians Emma Rutherford and Elizabeth Golding onto the podcast to discuss this miniature with me, from its highly androgynous appearance to the fact that it was deliberately defaced! Carry on listening to find out how and why!
