How Nudes Changed Britain

History Hit
About this episode

Why were nudes so significant in Victorian England? What role did painting them play in wider social change at that time? And why didn't men think that women had the capacity for genius?


Joining Kate today is Tabitha Barber, curator of the Tate Britain exhibition Now You See Us, which explores women artists in Britain over the last 500 years.


You can also watch Kate in a documentary all about this, called The Fight To Paint, over on History Hit - simply follow this link.
