A selection of rare British portrait miniatures from a collection housed at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Portrait miniatures were highly prized in Europe for nearly four hundred years, with artists based in Britain as the acknowledged masters of this specialized field. Many of the best portrait painters are represented in British Portrait Miniatures from the Thomson Collection. Using the collection housed at the Art Gallery of Ontario as a case study, this book discusses the function of miniatures, their material presence, the circumstances in which they were made, and aspects of their later history. Part-likeness, part reliquary, and part-jewel, miniatures were frequently made as tokens of love or memorials of loved ones. Styles, techniques, and modes of presentation naturally evolved between 1560 (the date of the first miniature in the book) and around 1900. Some changes happened rapidly. In England, for example, the foundation of exhibiting societies in the 1760s created a demand for larger miniatures that could hang on the wall alongside full-sized portraits. The Thomson collection includes examples of the work of Nicholas Hilliard and John Smart, as well as portraits by less familiar names such as Jacob Van Doordt and James Scouler. It is apparent from the scope and character of his acquisitions that Ken Thomson never planned an encyclopedic collection; he developed a fondness over time for particular artists and had no qualms about omitting others altogether. The homes and studios of the most successful painters, as sumptuous as those occupied by oil painters, often passed from one generation to another: here, one key property in Covent Garden is described and illustrated. For the first time, several specialist artists' suppliers are also identified. The illicit practice within the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century art trade of duplicating old miniatures is addressed here as well. Miniatures are difficult to display in museums, but recently developed photographic methods are introducing a new audience to this multilayered subject. Eighteen years after Thomson's death, there could not be a more opportune moment to highlight his collection.

This book reveals the wealth of British and European miniatures preserved in Scottish private collections, most of which are not normally on show to the public. Some of these intimate and private works are new discoveries, published here for the first time. These works are drawn from some of the notable private collections in Scotland, led by the most famous of all, that of the Duke of Buccleuch & Queensberry. The protagonists of the Stuart cause are well represented in portraits of Prince James and his sons Prince Charles Edward and Prince Henry Benedict, taken from the collection of one of the most significant Jacobite families, that of the Dukes of Perth. The book illustrates some of the most personal portraits of the leading figures among the great families of Scotland from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Twenty of the key works are illustrated in colour, with extended captions, and a complete catalogue of the collection is also included. AUTHOR: Dr Stephen Lloyd is a senior curator at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, where he has worked since 1993. SELLING POINTS: The sixth book in the National Galleries of Scotland's Portrait Miniatures series devoted to the art of the portrait miniature; subject of an exhibition to be held at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in July 2006

Portrait Miniatures from the Merchistion Collection is the fifth in a series of titles which examines the portrait miniature. This collection, which has never been on public display, was assembled on the London art market during the 1970s and 1980s. Scottish miniaturists from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries are particularly well represented with fine works by Scouler, Bogle, and Skirving and Sir William Charles Ross. Of outstanding interest is Nicholas Hilliard's matching pair of tiny lockets of Queen Elizabeth and her admirer Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Stephen Lloyd's essay discusses the formation of the collection and the impact of the invention of photography on the art of miniature painting. It also explores the social history of the miniature. Twenty of the key works are illustrated in colour, with extended captions, and a complete list of the collection is also included.
