Capturing a Queen - The Image of Anne Boleyn with Kate McCaffrey

A brand new exhibition, Capturing a Queen: The Image of Anne Boleyn, was unveiled at Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn opened a few weeks ago, and rather than presenting a single “definitive” portrait, it showcases dozens of competing images—some painted decades after Anne’s death—each shaped by politics, propaganda, and cultural memory. To discuss the exhibition with me today, I am thrilled to welcome one of its curators, Kate McCaffrey onto the podcast for the first time. We discuss the different images included, some amazing new artefacts and much more, so settle in as Kate and I explore the image of Anne Boleyn.
