Customer Rating: Summary: The ideal introduction to one of London's finest galleries Comment: The NPG is one of my favourite gallleries in London. A lovely size and quirky in feel it's not so large that the visitor ends up with gallery fatigue but full of interesting works. This book provides a fairly comprehensive introduction to the works of the NPG taking you through the large made to impress "Rulers of the Kingdom" portraits, via the "I'm so beautiful you have to admire me" portraits of various court beauties, through to the present day where portraiture seeks to understand the human soul and the advent of the photographic portrait.
