Publications

National Portrait Gallery Publications aims to promote the Gallery's exhibitions through intriguing titles with masterful artwork. These books not only increase our visitors' knowledge and their enjoyment of the collections but they also give insight into the world of art, and the complex relationship between artist and sitter. Portraiture has evolved over centuries and the Gallery and its publications reflect this, with titles ranging from Brilliant Women: 18th Century Bluestockings to our new title Vanity Fair Portraits. Come to the Gallery to see the world of British portraiture and enlighten your mind with a National Portrait Gallery book.
