Renaissance Faces by National Gallery Company Limited
Explores the development of portrait painting in Northern and Southern Europe during the Renaissance, when the genre first flourished. This book considers the relationship between artists of the north and south to illuminate the notion of likeness. It offers research on some of the greatest portraitists of the period.
"'In this lovely book, you find portraits of money lenders, artists, collectors of rare and beautiful objects, courtiers, grandees, marriageable young women and people in their old age.. So many of the faces these faces are haunting in their seriousness and sense of life. These are images you take away in your mind long after the book is back on the shelf.' (Richard Edmonds, Birmingham Post)"
