Creativity of the court artists in the context of the formation and development of the cultural and intellectual community in the period of the Tudor dynasty

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of analyzing the work of English and foreign court artists in the context of the formation and development dynamics of the cultural and intellectual community in the era of the Tudor dynasty. The authors refer not only to well-known artists, but also to a number of original masters familiar to a narrow circle of foreign and domestic researchers. The novelty of the article is determined not only by the introduction of these personalities into scientific circulation, but also by the approach to the analysis of the material: in addition to referring to the artistic features of creativity, the authors are interested in the range of occupations of these masters, their financial situation, the degree of proximity to the court and its reasons. The purpose of the work is: to find out to what extent the results of their work contributed to the emergence and development of a unique microclimate, necessary for the existence of a cultural and intellectual community at the court of the Tudor monarchs. The following methods were used: problematic, comparative- collation, retrospective-perspective analysis, as well as cultural-historical and iconographic methods of art criticism. The authors come to the conclusion that the English royal court in the period under review attracted not only British, but also foreign artists, many of them showed themselves simultaneously in different fields of activity: as portrait painters, miniaturists, architects and engineers. The features of the participation of royal persons in the development of court culture, in the degree and forms of interaction with court masters, were varied. Thus, undoubtedly, the work of the considered masters contributed to the formation and development of the cultural and intellectual community of this historical era and demonstrated the potential of influencing the development of English court art in subsequent times.
