Meet Curator Nicola Scott to explore the fascinating story behind one of our most beloved works, the Triumph of Fortitude Tapestry in the newly refurbished Renaissance Galleries at the Walker.

Learn more about a rare home furnishing that once graced the walls of a 16th-century palace. ‘Fortitude’ means courage in the face of adversity. This talk will explore the heroism of the people pictured. It will reveal the woven stories of some feisty female characters.
