From acclaimed best-selling historian Simon Schama comes the story of Britain as told through its portraits. This unique way of telling history consists of a remarkable range of visually revealing moments. Linking these tales together is Schama's exploration of how meaning emerges from a series of relationships-between sitter and painter, but also between them both and the present-day viewer.
