A groundbreaking approach to the problem of realism in Tudor art In Tudor and Jacobean England, visual art was often termed "lively."

A groundbreaking approach to the problem of realism in Tudor art In Tudor and Jacobean England, visual art was often termed "lively." This word was used to describe the full range of visual and material culture-from portraits to funeral monuments, book illustrations to tapestry. To a modern viewer, this claim seems perplexing: what could "liveliness" have meant in a culture with seemingly little appreciation for illusionistic naturalism? And in a period supposedly characterised by fear of idolatry, how could "liveliness" have been a good thing? In this wide-ranging and innovative book, Christina Faraday excavates a uniquely Tudor model of vividness: one grounded in rhetorical techniques for creating powerful mental images for audiences. By drawing parallels with the dominant communicative framework of the day, Tudor Liveliness sheds new light on a lost mode of Tudor art criticism and appreciation, revealing how objects across a vast range of genres and contexts were taking part in the same intellectual and aesthetic conversations. By resurrecting a lost model for art theory, Faraday re-enlivens the vivid visual and material culture of Tudor and Jacobean England, recovering its original power to move, impress and delight.
