Television producer turned author, lecturer and curator, Franny Moyle has been called “one of the most gifted living writers of artistic biography”. In 2009, Desperate Romantics, her serial biography of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was dramatized for BBC2. She subsequently delivered acclaimed biographies of J M W Turner and Hans Holbein the Younger. Her Biography of Turner was described as 'compelling' by The Economist, 'immaculate' by The Times, and ' exemplary' and 'enthralling' by The Sunday Times. Meanwhile, The King's Painter - her account of the life and times of Holbein the Younger - was a Radio 4 Book of the Week in 2021. In 2022 Between the Sheets, her revelatory exhibition of Turner’s erotica, drew national attention. Her account of eighteenth-century painters Angelica Kauffman and Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun is published in 2025. Franny has appeared in her capacity as an art historian on TV and is a regular contributor to radio. She is a trustee of Turner’s House in Twickenham, and a Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund.
