N2  - Leading philosopher of art Cynthia Freeland investigates some of the fascinating and fundamental questions posed by the art of portraiture. She answers questions such as: what do portraits tell us? What do they mean? What makes a picture into a portrait?  And can a picture of an animal ever really be a portrait? The illustrations and discussions span the centuries from the Roman Empire until the early 21st century, and are from a variety of countries and cultures
