Synopsis

An unprecedented parliamentary act saw Cromwell’s government sell King Charles I’s Renaissance artworks in a bid to settle his debts and raise the money needed for war. Jerry Brotton explores the formation of the collection, its dispersal following his execution in 1649 and subsequent attempts to reassemble it during the Restoration, highlighting the connection between art and power.
