    This document provides an overview of an exhibition about Renaissance portraiture from the 15th to 18th centuries. It explores the emergence and development of portraiture as a genre, focusing on paintings, medals, sculptures, drawings and engravings. The exhibition examines the influences from medieval traditions and classical antiquity, and traces the evolution of portraiture styles between Italy and the Netherlands. It reveals two constant features: the progressive "democratization" of portraiture to depict more social classes, and its increasing sophistication and exploration of formal and conceptual possibilities.
