For much of early modern history, the opportunity to be
immortalized in a portrait was explicitly tied to social class:
only landed elite and royalty had the money and power to commission
such an endeavor. But in the second half of the 16th century,
access began to widen to the urban middle class, including
merchants, lawyers, physicians, clergy, writers, and musicians. As
portraiture proliferated in English cities and towns, the middle
class gained social visibility-not just for themselves as
individuals, but for their entire class or industry. In Citizen
Portrait, Tarnya Cooper examines the patronage and production of
portraits in Tudor and Jacobean England, focusing on the
motivations of those who chose to be painted and the impact of the
resulting images. Highlighting the opposing, yet common, themes of
piety and self-promotion, Cooper has revealed a fresh area of
interest for scholars of early modern British art. Published for
the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
