Drawn from Sheffield’s collections, this recently refreshed display explores artists’ enduring fascination with depicting people.Portraits are complex. They have power and go far beyond a record of someone’s physical appearance – they offer insights into a sitter’s identity and status, as well as revealing the power dynamic between sitter and artist. They can flatter their subject, be grounded in the reality of the lives of the people they show, or be reminders of our own mortality. The advent of photography further changed the nature of portraiture - not only through its speed and accuracy, but in being a cheaper medium, allowing greater representation of the working classes and everyday society.

A great art gallery in Sheffield, but the things inside are average. But when I went there, it happened to be Thanksgiving and Christmas events, and it was very lively outside, with a lot of people, and there were a lot of cheap things to buy

Lavender and Sun

The only way from the small fountain to Sheha is here. I have filmed wedding blessing videos here and watched the zombie parade on Halloween. Every year when snooker is played, the BBC will do a live show here. There is a table next to it, with two balls in each pocket. You are given a few shots to clear the table. If you clear the table, you will have the opportunity to compete with a famous snooker player.
