Enjoy the beauty of art all around you
Rated 3.50/5 ( based on 10 reviews )
London National Gallery, England
One of the most popular and most visited museums, in terms of number of people is the National Gallery, London. It is home to more than 2,300 paintings that can be traced back to the mid-13th century to the 1900s. The National Gallery, London was founded in the year 1824, and houses masterpieces by artists such as Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Gainsborough, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Turner, Cezanne, Renoir and Raphael, among several others. It is an exempt charity, because of which there are no entry tickets to the National Gallery London. It was established when the British Government bought nearly 40 paintings from the family members of John Angerstein who was a patron of the arts, in the year 1824. He had a huge collection of paintings by several masters of art, and after he passed away, his heirs decided to sell paintings to save the rest of his estate.
Crammed with over 3200 paintings, it might take around a month to observe every painting in the National Gallery in detail. Here are the 5 best paintings exhibited in the gallery that are must to marvel at.
The Ambassadors by Hans Holbein
As one observes the faces of ambassadors and other objects in this painting in detail, they can realize how talented Hans Holbein was. The painting is famous for a different angle view, as one can see a skull from one side of the painting, which makes it quite unique.
Wheatfield with Cypresses by Van Gogh
Painted in the year 1889 by Van Gogh, this painting became the last craft of the painter as he died just after its completion. Taking inspiration from the window of his asylum, Van Gogh used subtle colors- green and blue in this painting.
The Hay Wain by Constable
Depicting a scene from his traditional homeland, Constable made this painting on a huge canvas of 6 feet. Though, initially this craft was not taken by anyone, but now this British painting is one of the greatest paintings of all time.
Wilton Diptych by Anonymous
Having survived the Puritan purges of the 1600s, it is one of the rare pieces and oldest works of art exhibited in the National Gallery. Though, the owner of the craft is still unknown, it is believed to be either an English or France.
Stonemason’s Yard by Canaletto
Famed for the accuracy of his works and incredible detailing, Canaletto included scenes of everyday life with tremendous detail in this painting. This craft was the first one amongst his paintings to be exhibited in the National Gallery.
Since then, it has been refurbished and restored several times, with various new wings being added over time, which has given the art gallery a more varied range of paintings and more. People come from all over the world, and walk the corridors of art to enjoy a sense of being at one with the beauty of the paintings, created by Italian masters of the art and more.
