All nationalities did this, not just the British. War and battles were very important in those days. Therefore, they were depicted. Portraits were the equivalent of today's' photos and were commissioned by the rich. Many artists the world over paint self-portraits because they like doing this, and because it is a challenge, as they are very difficult.
