"Portraiture, in the accepted sense, did not form part of the repertoire of the majority of mediaeval artists.this exhibition emphasizes the change which took place over several centuries, in the way in which artists in various media saw and presented both their contemporaries and predecessors. There is a marked development, within this period, from extreme stylization to almost total naturalism, and with this can be sensed an ever increasing interest in the individuality of the human face".
