"PASSIONATE PATRONS" - VICTORIA AND ALBERT AND THE ARTS

This Study Day celebrates the 200th Anniversary of the births of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who were first cousins and born just three months apart in 1819. Their shared enthusiasm for art and music endured throughout the twenty-two years of their marriage.

Theirs was a partnership of patronage by a monarch and her consort which is unique in the history of the British monarchy.  After Prince Albert’s untimely death in 1861, Victoria devoted herself to perpetuating Albert’s memory in commissioning and unveiling memorials and monuments throughout Britain.
