Tudor & Jacobean Portraits
Votes for Women: Voices of the Suffragettes
While principally a fashion magazine, Vogue has never been just that. It has assumed a central and vital role on the cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. Decade by decade, Vogue 100: A Century of Style celebrates the greatest moments in fashion, beauty and portrait photography. Illustrated throughout with well-known images, as well as the less familiar and recently rediscovered, the book focuses on the faces that shaped the cultural landscape. It features the fashion designers who defined the century and explores more broadly the changing form of the twentieth-century woman.
The pictures hanging in the Tudor and Jacobean galleries of the National Portrait Gallery, London, are among the most popular and famous images in its Collection. This book presents portraits of key individuals from these eras, from the monarchs and members of the ruling elite to the writers, artists and artisans that characterised the literary and artistic flourishing of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. An introductory essay provides important historical context, and the ninety works selected from the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and National Trust are accompanied by extended captions exploring how the portraits were created and their contribution to our understanding of this fascinating period.
