Review
"Brilliant. . . . The portrait known as the Chandos was the first picture the National Portrait Gallery acquired at its foundation in 1856. . . . Although it had been obscure and in private hands since the seventeenth century, it came with a continuous provenance which further investigation has supported. Only the question of its authorship was troublesome. Duncan-Jones, threading her way carefully back through the marginalia of the historian George Vertue into the theatrical networks of Shakespeare's day has solved the mystery beyond reasonable doubt. . . . This is a major discovery."
-- (12/28/2015)
"Every few years it seems, a newly discovered portrait of Shakespeare emerges, only to be discredited by scholars after the obligatory media maelstrom. Duncan-Jones offers her theories about why we don't have many images of the world's most famous playwright and tells us what's known about the images that we do have and how they came to be."
