This series of ten lectures takes us through the history of portraiture. From the time when it became popular in the 15th century, portraiture began to emerge from providing a mere adjunct to religious paintings to become a means to demonstrate power and status. The desire to show individual character and bring sitters to life developed alongside the portrayal of a simple likeness, until we reach the 19th century when style and exploration of new ways of painting meant the sitter’s identity became increasingly subordinate to the process of making art, until we arrive at the challenge of Modernism.

‘Facing the Past’ is also a chance to look into the eyes of people from other times – were they so different from us?
