William Shakespeare: Honorable men


This was long thought to be the only portrait ...

This was long thought to be the only portrait of William Shakespeare that had any claim to have been painted from life, until another possible life portrait, the Cobbe portrait, was revealed in 2009. The portrait is known as the ‘Chandos portrait’ after a previous owner, James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos. It was the first portrait to be acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 1856.

“For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men.”
William Shakespeare, “Julius Caesar“, Act 3 scene 2

Thou canst not then be false to any man.” -
