"I don't wear very much make-up in it, but for my hair, I had this big, massive blonde wig. Because I'm a natural brunette, I'm quite dark, so I had to go every week to get my hair dyed. And the costumes are absolutely amazing. My costume cutter is a costume historian, and he really wanted to keep it true to Lucrezia. He knew all her favorite colors throughout her life and which color she wore when, and he insisted on the right lacing. Even though you can't see it, it had to be the right lacing in the dresses. It was brilliant." — HOLLIDAY GRAINGER

i desperately want to do one of those “pick a song that’s turning 20 in 2025” polls but instead of all the songs being chosen to appeal directly to american tumblr users who had an emo phase i will take them, with bare minimum selectivity or curation, from the uk official year end charts so that everybody has to choose between shayne ward and the crazy frog song

Wolf Hall + Art Anne of Cleves by Bartholomaeus Bruyn the elder

The portrait was purchased in c.1734 by the then President and major benefactor of St John’s, William Holmes, for his private collection, and then acquired for the College by his successor as President, William Derham, in 1748. The sitter was only identified in print as Anne of Cleves as late as 1855, in J. W. Burgon’s Arms of the Colleges of Oxford. The date and authorship of the painting long remained debatable. Following major conservation work on the portrait in 1989/90, the conservator Candy Kuhl and the then Keeper of Pictures at St John’s, Professor Peter Hacker, persuasively argued in the Burlington Magazine for the date in the 1530s at the court of Cleves, before Anne came to England to marry Henry.
