Elizabethan and Jacobean Pregnancy Portraits
Thursday, September 18 2008, 7:30pm - 9:00pm
In early modern European portraiture women are generally very seldom depicted as obviously pregnant. In English portraits from the 16th and early 17th century, however, there seems to have been a vogue for such images, with elite women portrayed as unmistakably with child. Join Karen Hearn, Curator of 16th and 17th Century British Art at Tate Britain, London, for a study of these portraits. This lecture will examine some of these intriguing images, and suggest some reasons for this comparatively short-lived sub-genre.

$12/ person, $10/ students. Light refreshments will follow the lecture.
