She has previously studied the beauty cultures of early modern England, Italy and France, and spent much time dissecting and testing the beauty recipes that were circulating in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In 2019, she was awarded the Brooks Fellowship, in conjunction with the Delfina Foundation and Tate Britain. She hopes to undertake her research project, focusing on the depiction of early modern women artists in British galleries, at Tate Britain in 2022. https://www.earlymoderngoldilocks.com/resources daily 0.75 2021-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610279f50edc7765294b4fad/1629081867755-K3JFP227W92N4MNVZ1CR/Queen%2BLike%2BCloset.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610279f50edc7765294b4fad/1629180807719-6LK8YV9DDMITIQ4CK7RN/download.jpeg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610279f50edc7765294b4fad/1628987147018-OT8K5XZFMXR96SGFZGVO/Giovanni_Bellini_-_Giovane_donna_nuda_allo_specchio.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610279f50edc7765294b4fad/1636576084771-QVHWYOVV6H3VSOMB5D4V/Queen-Elizabeth-I.jpg Resources https://www.earlymoderngoldilocks.com/resources/primary-resources daily 0.75 2022-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Primary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Primary resources https://www.earlymoderngoldilocks.com/resources/secondary-resources daily 0.75 2021-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Secondary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Secondary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Secondary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Secondary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg Secondary resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847743861-GWVMBPD7Z7WQRQL9IZZ8/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Secondary resources https://www.earlymoderngoldilocks.com/do-try-this-at-home/hair daily 0.75 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610279f50edc7765294b4fad/1630629927092-RE5CYUDRF870Q11ZGNE5/Shampoo.png Hair -
