Dr Christina Faraday

I am a historian of art and ideas specialising in the visual and material culture of Tudor England. I am an Affiliated Lecturer in History of Art at the University of Cambridge and a Tutor for PACE where I Co-Direct the MSt in History of Art and Visual Culture. I am the author of ‘The Story of Tudor Art’ (Head of Zeus, 2025), the first book to take a comprehensive look at art across the whole sixteenth century in England, and of ‘Tudor Liveliness: Vivid Art in Post-Reformation England’ (Yale University Press / Paul Mellon Centre, 2023), based on my PhD, completed at the University of Cambridge in 2019. I am a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and of the Royal Historical Society, and a Trustee for the Walpole Society for British art history. I host the podcast British Art Matters, the official podcast of the Berger Prize for British art history.
