The National Portrait Gallery |
|
 St Martin's Place Trafalgar Square, Co. Greater London
The
gallery houses a fine collection of ‘mug shots’ of the key historical
figures, notorious or otherwise, dating from Elizabethan times to the
present day.
Situated at the rear of the National
Gallery , the Portrait Gallery features pictures of Kings and Queens and
the Great and the Good throughout British history. It is an excellent
way of putting faces to the names that you will hear about whilst
visiting Britain’s historic attractions.
The Gallery’s
collection also gives a fascinating insight into the period costumes as
well as illustrating how artists have developed the technique of
portrait painting and houses an excellent collection of contemporary
photographic portraits.
