Abstract
Abstract Scholarship on the impact of the English Reformation on the visual culture of the era has ignored the role of the painters who helped produce it. Yet it was the painters with their brushes no less than the preachers with their sermons who articulated the doctrinal and social developments of the era. Taking the example of Suffolk, this study examines the implications of the Reformation era for the painters’ occupation – including arms painters, glass painters, decorative painters and figurative painters – in provincial England. It supports its discussion with a biographical directory of Suffolk painters in the era c.1490–1640.
