The Selective Narrative: A Figurative Tour of the <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Portraitb> Gallery

To tour the <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Portraitb> Gallery is to tour its version of American history, a drama with glory counterbalanced by despair as seen in the faces of its heroes and the lingering images of those excluded, left outside history's gate.
The <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Portraitb> Gallery's narrative of American history is a balance between the voices of the powerful and previously powerless, and that narrative is influenced greatly by the practical constraits which any museum must consider.
The portraits, however, are skewed and necessarily influenced by the Portraitb> Gallery’s interpretation of the work of art and of the person displayed.

The over 200 portraits selected here by four curators from England's <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Portraitb> Gallery cover an instructive and amusing range, from an oil painting of the lissome young Henry, Prince of Wales (1594-1612) by Robert Peake to a black-and-white photo of sultry, mascara-drenched screen star Vivien Leigh.

Portraitb> of Captain James Cook RN 1728-1779

Webber's 1782 portraitb> is one of five known surviving portraits of Cook painted in the eighteenth century, and until it was acquired by the <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Portraitb> Gallery, it was the only one outside a major gallery or museum.
The first two paintings are in the <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Portraitb> Gallery, London, and the <bb>>Nationalb>bb>> Art Gallery, Wellington.
While landscape settings, too, were common in eighteenth century portraits, the stormy background in the Cook portraitb> has particular resonance, for it reminds us that he lived and died trying to disclose the potential of the sea and the sky to the wider world.
