National Portrait Gallery: The Collection is published to celebrate
the reopening of the Gallery after a three-year redevelopment
project. Designed by Daniela Rocha, this engaging and inviting book
takes the reader on a chronological journey through Britain’s
history in portraiture, from the Tudors to Now, featuring the
country’s most impactful and famous individuals, from Queen
Elizabeth I to Mary Seacole, and Virginia Woolf to David Bowie. The
book is richly illustrated with beautiful paintings, photographs,
sculptures, drawings and digital works. Readers will enjoy a
selection of the most popular and recognisable portraits from the
Collection, accompanied by short chapter introductions that
introduce key historical periods, their most exciting figures, and
their most important historical, political, social and cultural
moments. This accessible structure allows the reader to dip into
any of the beautiful portraits and their stories, and understand
their place in British history. An Introduction by Director Dr.
Nicholas Cullinan will highlight why portraiture has been
fundamental to people and society historically, but also to
contemporary audiences, by exploring themes of culture, identity
and the representation of diversity. This will also introduce
readers to the nation’s newly-reopened National Portrait Gallery,
explaining how it came to be the nation’s home of portraits and
the world’s most significant Collection of people.
