Review Quotes
Los Angeles Times
“In an age saturated with selfies, sometimes it feels good to put the iPhone down and leave it to the pros. Portrait of the Artist does just that, collecting images of artists from the vast British Royal Collection, which includes work by Sir Peter Paul Rubens, David Hockney, William Hogarth and more. Like many art books, Portrait of the Artist, out this week from the Royal Collection Trust . . , accompanies reproductions with historical context and analysis, which is particularly fun for works in conversation with one another.”
Daily Hive (Vancouver)
“Yes, you will be awestruck at how incredibly detailed these artworks are.”
Globe and Mail
“Spanning six centuries, the works are worthy of royalty, to be sure. . . . [They] are infused with history—but they are also alive with personal details.”
