At the turn of the nineteenth century, society portraiture was on the brink of an extraordinary renaissance. Never in the history of painting has portraiture revealed such a glittering array of talents and rich variety of styles as it did during this period of profound social upheaval and change.This superb book opens at that moment and closes as the genre struggled to survive and evolve in the post-war era. The gallery of portraits collected here contains both celebrated and less well-known images, but all capture the spirit of their age, throwing the society that produced them into sharp relief.
