| 520 | |a 2014 marks the three-hundredth anniversary of the succession of the House of Hanover to the British throne. In celebration of this historic milestone, The First Georgians explores the rich artistic culture of the early Hanoverian period. It is easy to forget, when we think of the Georgian period, that it began with the unprecendented choice by Parliament of a new sovereign. The first Georges ruled a country where notions of Englishness, the rule of law and the principles of freedom in speech, trade and religion were emerging into life. By the end of the Georgian period, these principles were enshrined both in the constitution and in national consciousness. The First Georgians examines this revolutionary period in English life through the art and architecture of the time and the patronage and taste-setting of this new English royal family. This publication showcases more than three hundred of the finest works of this period, many of which have never been on public display before. Created in Germany, France, Italy and Britain during one of the most dramatic periods of change across all aspects of political, intellectual and cultural life, they reflect changing views of science, politics and art throughout the early to mid-eighteenth century the period when Britain became a world power and established its modern identity. | ||
