Spanning from the inauguration of James I in 1603 to the execution
of Charles I in 1649, the Stuart court saw the emergence of a full
expression of Renaissance culture in Britain. Hart examines the
influence of magic on Renaissance art and how in its role as an
element of royal propaganda, art was used to represent the power of
the monarch and reflect his apparent command over the hidden forces
of nature. Court artists sought to represent magic as an expression
of the Stuart Kings' divine right, and later of their policy of
Absolutism, through masques, sermons, heraldry, gardens,
architecture and processions. As such, magic of the kind enshrined
in Neoplatonic philosophy and the court art which expressed its
cosmology, played their part in the complex causes of the Civil War
and the destruction of the Stuart image which followed in its wake.
