First Edition. In 1856 the newly founded National Portrait Gallery in London was presented with a compelling painting of Shakespeare known as the Â"ChandosÂ" portrait. Yet, 150 years later, few scholars agree that a true contemporary portrait of the most famous playwright in the history of English literature actually exists. Using the questionable authenticity of this portrait as its starting point, this unique and fascinating book examines the connections between theatrical performance and ShakespeareÂ's references in the visual arts. Featuring numerous portraits and images of costumes, theater models, manuscripts, and maps, Searching for Shakespeare looks at the artistÂ's overall biography and lifeÂ's work. Portraits of ShakespeareÂ's contemporaries are also includedÂÂfellow actors, entertainers, and playwrights as well as his patrons. Insightful essays by distinguished scholars discuss a range of themes, from Shakespeare's sonnets, fame, and professional connections to his relationships with his actors, dramatists, and courtly and public audiences. They also reveal interesting background on the provenance and scholarship surrounding the Â"ChandosÂ" portrait, which has been copied, purloined, and reproduced since it was first linked with Shakespeare at the beginning of the eighteenth century. For anyone interested in Shakespeare, the mystery surrounding his identity, and the performing and visual arts of the Elizabethan period, this is an essential book to own; 239 pages; Physical desc. : 239 p. ; 29 cm. Published to accompany the exhibition held at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 2nd March - 29th May, 2006, and at the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, 24th June - 27th September, 2006.

[ ABOUT THE BOOK ] Searching for Shakespeare Book by Tarnya Cooper | This book examines six contested portraits of William Shakespeare and investigates their authenticity, beginning with the Chandos portrait, presented to the newly founded National Portrait Gallery in 1856. Its analysis draws on scientific examination, including X-ray, infrared and ultraviolet imaging, macro and micro photography, and paint sampling. | Professors Stanley Wells and James Shapiro consider Shakespeare's personal and professional life, while curator Tarnya Cooper explores contemporary ideas about portraiture and Shakespeare's interest in the visual arts. Professor Marcia Pointon examines the later history of Shakespeare's image and its development into an icon of Englishness after his death. Illustrated with portraits, costumes, manuscripts and maps, the book also offers insights into the lives of Shakespeare's fellow actors, entertainers and playwrights, as well as his patrons and audiences.
