Renaissance Portraits

What kinds of portraits were produced during the Renaissance? Who produced them and for whom? How were they painted? Why were they wanted and how were they used? In this book, Lorne Campbell addresses these fundamental questions by exploring the aesthetic, technical, social, and economic aspects of Renaissance portrait-painting and by offering a close examination of the works of such artists as Jan van Eyck, Leonardo, Dürer, Raphael, Holbein, and Titian.
