Imagined Lives: Portraits of unknown people
Published on the occasion of a new display at the National Portrait Gallery, London from 3 December — August 2012.
Eight internationally acclaimed authors have invented imaginary biographies and character sketches based on fourteen unidentified portraits.
Who are these men and women, why were they painted, and why do they now find themselves in the Collection of the National Portrait Gallery?
With fictional letters, diaries, mini-biographies and memoirs, 'Imagined Lives' creates vivid stories about these unknown sitters from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
