The Artistic Matronage of Queen Charlotte 1744-1818: How a Queen Promoted Both Art and Female Artists in English Society

This book focuses on the artistic patronage of Queen Charlotte of England, whose artistic support has been traditionally overshadowed by that of her husband, King George III. Although Charlotte and her husband jointly patronized artists during the first decade of their marriage, she eventually became a substantial patron in her own right, supporting both the fine and decorative arts. With illustrations.
