This illustrated biography follows Nicholas Hilliard's long and
remarkable life (c. 1547-1619) from the West Country to the heart
of the Elizabethan and Jacobean courts. It showcases new archival
research and stunning images, many reproduced in color for the
first time. Hilliard's portraits-some no larger than a
watch-face-have decisively shaped perceptions of the appearances
and personalities of many key figures in one of the most exciting,
if volatile, periods in British history. His sitters included
Elizabeth I, James I, and Mary, Queen of Scots; explorers Sir
Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh; and members of the emerging
middle class from which he himself hailed. Hilliard counted the
Medici, the Valois, the Habsburgs, and the Bourbons among his
Continental European patrons and admirers. Published to mark the
400th anniversary of Hilliard's death, this is the definitive
biography of one of Britain's most notable artists. Published in
association with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
