Explore

Join us as we journey back in time to introduce a selection of paintings from the NGV’s collection of 17th century portraits.

We will meet the plucky Henrietta of England (known as Minette) and the remarkably long-lived Lady Mary Vere, and consider the careers of pioneering English portrait painters Mary Beale and Joan Carlile.
