Review :
Dyma gyfrol fechan, yn seiliedig ar arddangosfa sydd yn Amgueddfa Cymru yng Nghaerdydd hyd 24 Medi 2006, ac yn cynnwys detholiad o tua deugain o bortreadau o Gymry blaenllaw dros y pedair canrif ddiwethaf. Mae’r gwrthrychau yn cynrychioli bywyd diwylliannol, gwleidyddol ac economaidd Cymru yn ystod y cyfnod ac mae’r darluniau eu hunain yn dilyn y newidiadau a fu mewn chwaeth a ffasiwn o un ganrif i’r llall, yn ogystal ag adlewyrchu datblygiad y gelfyddyd a’r grefft o greu portread. Wrth droi pob tudalen gwelwn bortread newydd, ac yn ei ymyl fywgraffiad cryno o’r gwrthrych, ynghyd â nodyn am yr artist, lle gwyddys pwy oedd ef neu hi. Nid yw’r mynegiant geiriol bob amser yn cymharu gyda medrusrwydd y darlunio, ond serch hynny mae ffeithiau moel y bywgraffiad yn crisialu’n gofiadwy o gwmpas y ddelwedd. Cathryn o Ferain yw’r gwrthrych cynharaf, mewn llun a beintiwyd gan Adriaen van Cronenburgh tua 1520 yn yr Iseldiroedd. Awgryma ei hosgo a’i hymarweddiad ddynes gadarn a phwerus, yn ein hatgoffa fod portread yn ffordd o gyflwyno neges am yr hunan, yn ogystal â bod yn ddarn o waith celf. Mae yma ambell i ddelwedd sydd yn hen gyfarwydd, megis y portread o’r Parchedig Christmas Evans unllygeidiog, ac un o’r gantores Adelina Patti mewn cot ffwr, ar fin mynd i sglefrio yn Rwsia hanner canrif yn ddiweddarach. Tybed ai dyma’r tro cyntaf i’r pâr annhebyg hwn ymddangos gyda’i gilydd o fewn cloriau’r un llyfr? Efallai mai’r darlun mwyaf teimladwy yw’r portread o’r Telynor Dall, John Parry, gan ei fab William Parry, tua 1775-82, lle gwelwn y telynor wedi llwyr ymgolli yn ei gelfyddyd. Yn eironig, ni fyddai ef ei hun wedi gallu gweld y llun. Daw’r lluniau i gyd o gasgliad yr Amgueddfa. Er ei bod hi’n anodd barnu’r dewis heb fod yn gyfarwydd ag ystod y casgliad, mae Ann Summer wedi dewis cynrychiolaeth dda o unigolion a gyfrannodd at hanes Cymru ar hyd y pedwar can mlynedd diwethaf, wedi eu hanfarwoli mewn gweithiau celf y gallwn ymfalchïo ynddynt a’u mwynhau trwy gyfrwng y gyfrol fechan ond ddeniadol hon.
