Why are some people remembered as heroes, and others as villains? Why can the same person –and the same events – be seen in such different lights by different people?
In this workshop we’ll be exploring these themes in the light of one particularly controversial period of time: the era of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. This challenge against church authority launched by Martin Luther in 1517 caused not just religious but also social and political change across sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe; it created arguments and controversies that echoed right into our modern world. People, reputations and portrayal were right at the heart of many of these battles.
Join us to explore why some people are remembered and others forgotten. We’ll explore how images and objects can help us understand this before making our own portraits of early modern heroes – and villains.
