THE NATIONAL GALLERY - LONDON - THE COLLECTION OF RENAISSANCE PAINTINGS
August 3, 5, 7 - 4 p.m.
The National Gallery, located in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, Central London, was founded in 1824. It is arguably one of the finest collections of paintings in the world, housing more than 2,300 works of art dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. Though this collection includes examples from all major traditions of Western European painting, it is particularly strong in works from the Renaissance. In this three-part series, we look more closely at some of the greatest works of art from this era.
Italian Renaissance Art: the 15th century - from Lippi and Mantegna, to Botticelli and Bellini.
Northern Renaissance Art: Van Eyck, Memling, Dürer, Cranach, Holbein
Italian Renaissance Art: the 16th century - from Michelangelo and Leonardo, to Titian and Veronese
