Going back at least to ancient Egypt, portraiture flourished as an art form and a way of documenting someone's identity. Before the invention of photography, a painted, sculpted, or drawn portrait was the only way to record the appearance of someone. But portraits have always been more than just a record. They have been used to show the power, importance, virtue, beauty, uniqueness, wealth, taste, temperament, mood or other qualities of the sitter. They are also a culmination of a relationship between two people—the artist and the sitter—and this is communicated in wonderfully subtle and subconscious ways in the resulting work. Self-portraits are tricky because the artist is required to look at themselves objectively, which can be an intense process of self-discovery and inner connection. In many instances, artist's self portraits are the form in which they have come to be remembered - offering insights into their lives, surroundings, and even their state of mind. Here are a selection of portraits and self-portraits from Tate's collection, shown in the order they were made.
