Portraits: 50 Paintings You Should Know

Paperback
$ 19.95| £ 14.99

This wide-ranging collection of 50 iconic portraits includes works by many of the world’s most renowned artists, each with their own style, technique, and story to tell.

Throughout the history of art, most of the world’s greatest artists have produced portraits at some point in their careers, whether commissioned by rulers or magnates; created to preserve a cherished friend or relation; or even to capture the artist’s own likeness. Arranged chronologically, each of the 50 masterworks in this book exemplifies a moment in history, or a turning point in the artist’s career. Van Eyck’s A Man in a Turban, Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Sargent’s Madame X, Kahlo’s Self-Portrait with Necklace, Warhol’s Marilyn, and many more world-famous paintings are featured in exquisite full-page reproductions accompanied by engaging and enlightening texts. An introductory essay on the history and importance of the portrait in art history and brief biographies of each artist round out this survey that provides valuable information in an attractive and affordable package.
