Riassunto

Featuring pieces from the V&A's collection, which contains some of the finest examples in existence, The Portrait Miniature in England reveals aspects of miniatures usually hidden from view, using details and enlargements to show the extraordinary techniques used. The book also looks into the world of the miniaturists themselves, tracing close family ties and the passing on of traditions and techniques, as well as tackling issues surrounding the miniature's place in contemporary perceptions of art history.
