Discover Britain's fascinating history through 21 extraordinary paintings. From bestselling historian and author of Eighteen, Alice Loxton presents a captivating exploration of British art, culture and history, revealing the remarkable stories hidden within some of the nation's most iconic artworks. Combining engaging historical storytelling with fresh perspectives, this beautifully researched book offers a unique journey through centuries of British life.
Travelling across Britain, Alice Loxton explores twenty-one remarkable paintings that illuminate the lives, beliefs and experiences of generations past.
From the mysterious wall paintings of St Cadoc's Church near Cardiff to L. S. Lowry's vivid depictions of working-class life, each artwork becomes a window into a different chapter of British history.
Along the way, readers encounter celebrated masterpieces, including the famous Rainbow Portrait of Elizabeth I and John Everett Millais' haunting Ophelia.
Looking beyond the paintings themselves, Loxton uncovers the real people, historical events and cultural transformations that inspired them. She also challenges familiar historical myths, exploring questions about St George, medieval beliefs, Scottish tartan and Britain's enduring pub culture.
With her accessible and enthusiastic approach, Loxton reveals how art can preserve forgotten voices, challenge established narratives and deepen our understanding of the past.
Insightful, richly detailed and engaging, this exploration of British history through art is perfect for readers interested in art history, British culture, historical paintings and the untold stories behind famous masterpieces. An inspiring choice for fans of Alice Loxton, accessible popular history and beautifully written nonfiction that brings the past to life.
