These essays on the history and artistic and intellectual achievement of the early Tudor period reflect the sense of continuity between the first half of the sixteenth century and the preceding hundred years. The artistic and intellectual dominance of continental influences and fashions, discernible in the previous century, remains: the portrait miniature is a continental off-shoot of manuscript illumination, introduced into England by Lucas Horenbout; theAshwellthorpe triptych acknowledges Netherlandish influence; carved misericords are copies from German and Dutch prints; even the windows of early Tudor courtier houses get their Renaissance influence from French sources. Yet changes in artistic patronage are in the air under Henry VIII as his allies, the new Tudor gentry, become key figures in royal government, and the medieval knight becomes a courtier requiring culture and education.
