The Face in the Mirror
Description
The evolution of portraiture inevitably led to self-portraiture, as Simon Schama explores in the fifth episode of The Face of Britain. Art took on a different meaning in the 13th century when William de Brailes became the first artist to attach an image of himself to his work as a sort of signature, thereby acknowledging his credibility and advancing the idea of painting self-portraits. Learn about the popularization of the art form during the Romantic age and artists like Laura Knight who pioneered self-portraiture for women.
