The Reformation is generally regarded as a calamitous episode in
the history of British art, with the rich artistic heritage of the
medieval period eradicated and replaced by an austere Protestant
culture of the word. According to this view, religious art had no
place in post-Reformation Britain. This compelling new study
presents a wealth of visual evidence to argue that religious
subject matter was common in the arts of Protestant Britain. Tara
Hamling examines decorative features from historic houses
throughout England and Scotland and identifies a significant but
overlooked trend in the history of British art. She reveals a
widespread fashion for large-scale religious imagery in houses
owned by the gentry and prosperous middle classes during the period
1560-1660 which is interpreted in relation to life in the 'godly'
household. The book is copiously illustrated with narrative imagery
in wall painting, plasterwork, carved wood and stone and a range of
objects including furniture, textiles and ceramics.
