Portrait art is a popular style of art, with the earliest recorded portrait painting being estimated at 27,000 years old. Portrait art represents a person, with the face being the predominant focus, often capturing raw emotion with facial expressions.

History of Portrait Art

Examples of portrait art can be seen dating back thousands of years, with the earliest known painting being found in the Vilhonneur grotto near Angoulême, France. 

Some other prehistoric examples were displayed in the form of plastered skulls to create sculptures; this type of portrait art was present between 9000 and 6000 BC.

The emergence of portrait art then increased during the Egyptian period. With most of the portraits being that of rulers and people of importance such as Pharaohs. This was so that many could recognise and worship the leaders. 

We see familiar examples of portrait artwork at the start of the 1500s, with the famous Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona Lisa’. This represents the more modern work of portraits we see in today’s society, with the subject making eye contact to create the relationship between the portrait and the viewer. 

From this, we can see the influence of art styles such as realism present, influencing other works such as the ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ more than 100 years later.
