The year 1533 changed everything for Henry VIII and his kingdom. By the end of it, England had a new queen, Anne Boleyn, a new church and a new royal heir, the future Elizabeth I. This turbulent year was captured forever by Hans Holbein, the most famous court painter of the age.

The Ambassadors, seen by millions of National Gallery visitors each year, is full of meanings and symbols. Based on her new book, Holbein: The Ambassadors, Festival Patron Tracy Borman’s talk will unlock the mysteries of this painting and reveal the secrets that it tells us about the Tudor court.
