The encounter

This book brings together fifty exquisite observational portrait drawings from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including works by Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer, Bernini, Carracci, Clouet, Rubens, and Holbein. More than a record of appearance, these works capture a moment of connection between artist and sitter: an encounter. This book includes illuminating essays on drawing practice by the Gallery's Curatorial Director Tarnya Cooper, and on the collecting of portrait drawings in Britain by Jeremy Wood. Exhibition: National Portrait Gallery, London, UK (13.07.-22.10.2017).
