Established in 1856, the National Portrait Gallery in London holds the most extensive collection of portraits in the world.

Spanning over 600 years of history, the portraits celebrate those who have made Britain great: kings and queens, artists, authors, musicians, actors, scientists, politicians and more.

Matthew Bailey, Manager, Rights & Images, National Portrait Gallery said:

“We are pleased to be working with Artimage to make these images readily available for licensing. Income raised via licensing helps the National Portrait Gallery continue its ongoing work, and maintain free access to the Collections onsite, and via the Gallery website.”
