Emma Hamilton: Seduction
and Celebrity exhibition
National Maritime Museum
Booking until 17 April 2017
EMMA HAMILTON: SEDUCTION AND CELEBRITY
runs until 17 April 2017 at the National Maritime Museum
Greenwich.
Emma Hamilton was one of the most famous international
celebrities of her time and her life is the ultimate costume drama. Today Emma,
Lady Hamilton, is most famous for being the lover of Admiral Nelson; however her
story is one of female power and achievement in a man’s world.
Born into poverty in 1765, she rose to be a muse for famous artists, an influential
ambassador’s wife, a European cultural icon and Nelson’s mistress – before facing
prison and dying in destitution.
EMMA HAMILTON: SEDUCTION AND CELEBRITY traces her spectacular
career from rags to riches and back again through over 200 objects, great paintings by
George Romney, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Sir Thomas Lawrence, and heartfelt letters
between Emma and her lovers. The exhibition also explores the obstacles and social
barriers for a woman of her time in the public eye, many of which still resonate today.
