Deskripsi

The article examines the representation of the link between individuals and the nation in English / British portrait painting from the 16th to the 18th century. Because of its intense focus on identity, which speaks volumes about mentalities during the period it belongs to, portrait painting reveals much about both what the nation meant to sitters and artists and the increasing importance of a national feeling in Britain at different times.
