Description
The National Portrait Gallery's Collection spans over 500 years of British history, featuring more than 60,000 sitters and exploring key themes of social change, power, and influence. This publication brings together the Gallery's most significant portraits of monarchs, statesmen, and women who have shaped the nation. The book is arranged chronologically, with each section prefaced by an introductory text and timeline to provide context for the period in question. Extended captions offer detailed information on the sitter and artist, while features on topics such as Royal Favourites, Weddings, Satire, and Fashion provide additional insights into royal portraiture. The publication includes a foreword from the Gallery's Director, an introductory essay discussing royal patronage and key artists, and an essay by David Cannadine on the historical role of the monarchy in Britain.
