《王室成员：英国君主制500年的奢华视觉指南》

自视觉文化诞生以来，公共形象就一直是每位君主所关心的问题，统治者的形象也始终贯穿于艺术史的各种媒介之中。这一点在伦敦国家肖像画廊令人惊叹的英国王室肖像收藏中体现得尤为明显。通过跨越500年的连续时间线，从亨利八世到查尔斯三世，探索国王和王后们如何塑造自己的形象，以展现出力量、家庭与爱。广为人知的流行文化人物，如夏洛特王后和戴安娜王妃，与英国王室中一些鲜为人知的人物一同位列其中。作品配有文字说明，详细介绍了各位君主的统治时期、家族关系、生平事迹和遗产。策展人拉布·麦吉本（Rab MacGibbon）所作的序言阐述了英国王室的历史及其在当今社会中的角色。《王室成员》是国家肖像画廊关于英国王室系列书籍中的最新力作。

A luxurious visual guide to the past 500 years of the British monarchy

Public image has been a concern of every monarch since the dawn of visual culture, and depictions of rulers have consistently appeared through art history’s various mediums. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the National Portrait Gallery, London’s stunning collection of British royal portraiture. Through a continuous chronology spanning 500 years, from Henry VIII to Charles III, discover how kings and queens have positioned themselves to create images infused with strength, domesticity and love. Familiar pop culture subjects like Queen Charlotte and Princess Diana take their places among lesser-known figures of the British crown. Works are accompanied by captions that detail reigns, relationships, biographies and legacies. An introduction by curator Rab MacGibbon explains the history of the British royal family and its role in today’s society. The Royals is the newest addition to the National Portrait Gallery’s collection of books on British royalty.
