Catalogues
Exhibition catalogue published on the occasion of the "The Renaissance Portrait" exhibition which ran from 3 June to 7 September 2008 at the Museo Nacional del Prado. It is the first time an exhibition proposes a global approximation to the Renaissance portraits and to portrait painting as a autonomous gender. A part from the paintings, the exhibition also includes medals, sculptures, drawings and engravings, which offers a more complete vision of the gender evolution. Through numerous works from both national and international institutions, the exhibition, and this catalogue, offers a survey of the two first two centuries of portrait painting, and reflects the extraordinary typological variety and the conceptual complexity of a gender which grew exponentially all over Europe during the 15th and 16t century. The publication catalogues 126 works from the exhibition and was coordinated by the curator, Miguel Falomir, and includes contributions from a number of renowned experts: Miguel Falomir, Michael Bury, Lorne Campbell, Joanna Woods-Marsden, Alexander Nagel, Juan Luis González, Jennifer Fletcher and Luke Syson.
