Highlights of the National Gallery - One of the World's Finest Collections of Art

The National Gallery is one of the world's most beloved fine art galleries, holding treasures from the medieval period until the early 20th century. However, exploring it on your own can be a bit overwhelming! Join me, an art historian and museum expert, as I guide you through the major art movements of the past five centuries, bringing these beautiful paintings to life. This is a place where I find deep inspiration, beauty, and wonder, and I can't wait to share it with you. I will tell you about more than just the artists' methods - I will explain the historical significance and context of each painting. Whether you're an art lover or a complete novice, this tour will give you new insight into art, history, and culture. I can customise the tour depending on your specific interests. Ask me about combining the National Gallery and the British Museum!

• After meeting, we will make our way to Trafalgar Square, where I will introduce the Museum and its historical significance. • Next, we'll enter the National Gallery and begin with Medieval paintings, such as the Wilton Diptych, before making our way to da Vinci, Botticelli, Titian, Raphael, and the Italian Renaissance masters. • Over the next two hours, we will explore the Northern Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, Tudor painting, the Spanish Golden Age, Academic painting, and the Paris Salon. Some painters include Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Holbein, Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Eyck, Botticelli, Titian, Velasquez, Caravaggio, Le Brun, Turner, Constable, and more. We'll finish with Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, with artists such as Monet, Seurat, Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Degas, Rousseau, and Van Gogh. *If you have specific interests, please let me know in advance, and I will be sure to include some of these paintings
