The portrait in artistic production: what representations? Guided tour

The Soares dos Reis National Museum’s summer programme continues with visits at the right time and on 22 September, at 3pm, visitors will be taken on a tour of the long-term exhibition that highlights the portrait in artistic production.

The representation of the other or others has been a constant in artistic manifestations and is a powerful document of the desire for eternity, of personal, social and artistic status, of the way we aspire to be seen in life and in posterity. In this visit, the tour centres on the Romantics and Naturalists of the 19th century and different environments over the generations.
