Learning on ScreenPortraits: Judging by Appearances
- Synopsis
- Looks at the different aims of portraiture and the different methods used by portraitists to achieve them. Shows paintings from the National Gallery, including works by Van Eyck, Botticelli, Raphael, Holbein, Rembrandt, Van Dyck and Gainsborough. In three sections, the programme considers the methods used to capture the likeness of a sitter, how the painter conveys social position and status, and how painters have attempted to reveal something of the character and inner self of the subject.
