Description
I’m so excited to be bringing you the first of a NEW offering on the Art of History podcast! ?
These “Art Bites,” as I’m calling them, will be a casual place to discuss pieces of news that pertain to topics we’ve either discussed on the show, or which activate my art history brain.
Our first Art Bite is centered on an upcoming auction at Sotheby's, where a privately-owned portrait of Katherine Parr will go up for sale in July. Tune in to hear me geek out about the power display going on in this representation of Henry VIII’s sixth and final queen. (We also chat about royal jewelry).
See more on the Old Masters auction and the Coronation auction here.
Today's artwork: Katherine Parr, attributed to “Master John” and dated to the mid-1540s

Mr. Lincoln, I Presume?: In 1872, Mary Todd Lincoln (1818-1882) visited the photography studio of one William H. Mumler (1832-1884), who claimed to be able to capture images of deceased loved ones on film. A byproduct of Mrs. Lincoln's spiritualist beliefs, the photograph that today's story centers around offers us a glimpse at the strange practices which Civil War-era Americans would resort to in their efforts to find comfort and solace in the wake of death and tragedy. </p><p>Today's Image: William H. Mumler, “<em>Mary Todd Lincoln,</em>” (1872). Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, Allen County Public Library. Fort Wayne, Indiana.</p><p>New episodes every other Friday.
