Abstract
After the much beloved, but single and childless, Elizabeth Tudor, the Stuarts of Scotland were next in line for the throne of England. They came to power in a century of political change for the Monarchy. The 'Art' of Majesty looks at how the Stuarts attempted to display itself to the world. Serving a more political rather than artistic purpose, these portraits hide more than they reveal. At a time when the Monarchy needed to project idealized images of majesty, it is these hidden stories which are often the most valuable. The video "poster" will feature a virtual exhibit which will allow users to browse through a gallery, as well as a digitized version (iBook) of the thesis paper to present ways in which to utilize new media for both academic and popular audiences.
