In this video I share with you my top 10 favorite paintings from the National Gallery London.
10. Paolo Veronese - The Adoration of the Kings
A ray of light illuminates Christ the Child held by Virgin Mary. In bright colors, with aristocratic elegance, the kings the angels, Joseph and the shepherds are in adoration. The stable is built in roman ruins, symbolizing the triumph of christianity over the pagans.
9. Velasquez - The toilet of Venus
Venus is reclining on a bed backing us, while she is looking in the mirror held by a Cupid the protector of love. Even if she is turned away we can see her face. The mirror shows the reflection, suggesting that she is observing herself. The composition mainly uses shades of red, white, and grey, which are used even in Venus's skin.
8. Jean Baptiste Camille Corot -The four times of the day -
Corot painted these four panels in a single week. representing different moments of the same day. Each scene traces the changing light in the sky, the golden glow of the Morning turns into the brightness of Noon, to the blue light of the Evening and finally to a starry Night.
7. Canaletto- The Basin of San Marco Ascension Day
This painting shows the annual festival that symbolize the marriage of Venice with the sea, which is taking place for more than 1000 years. The Dodge is leaving the palace. His golden gondola can ben seen in the crowd, he will go out in the sea and throw a gold ring in the Adriatic so that Venice will continue to dominate the trade market and be prosperous.
6. Paul Cezanne -The Grounds of the Chateau Noir
The chateau Noir was a rambling house set on extensive grounds, where the artist painted some of the finest landscape of his last years. In this dramatic view of the rocky ridge above the house entangled branches and foliage form a screen nearly obscuring the sky, A dab of orange placed at the center of the canvas lends vibrancy to the greens of the trees.
5. Michelangelo - The Manchester Madonna
You know you are one of the Masters when your unfinished work is shown in a museum as prestigious as this. This unfinished painting is one of Michelangelo’s works. The Virgin Mary is holding a book while Christ, portrayed here as a child, is pointing to a text. The angels on the right side are studying a scroll, likely given to them by John the Baptist.
4. Rembrandt - Belshazzar’s feast
Interrupting the kings party, a divine hand appeared and wrote on the wall a cryptic text that declared the end of Babylon. The king is scared, the guests are terrified, the gestures are uncontrolled, the wine is spilled on the tables. History tells us that on that same night Babylon fell to Media-Persia.
3. Vincent Van Gogh - Sunflowers
The painting was intended to decorate the room that was set aside for Gauguin at the Yellow House. The built up texture of the sunflowers creates dimension from the full bloom in bright to melancholic. Color yellow is associated with hope enthusiasm and friendship. Van Gogh suggests that the flower are a symbol of gratitude.
2. Leonardo Da Vinci - The Virgin of the rocks
Christ child is on the right with an angel by his side, blessing his infant cousin John the baptist. John turns to Jesus folding his hands in prayer and holding a symbolic cross. The Virgin Mary is the image of beauty, surrounded by a ideal landscape. She connects the two children by holding the hand above her son in a protective gesture, while touching John’s shoulder.
1. Claude Monet - The Gare St-Lazare
This is one of the 12 series that Monet painted on the spot. Two steam trains are in the station while the passengers are going down. It is a perfect portrait of what the modern industrial era meant: a bright day with pure sunlight, clouds of steam, busy peoples going in and out, dynamic style in hues of gray.

SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the beautiful city of London in England and let's go to The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) which is an art gallery in London housing a collection of portraits of historically important and famous British people. It was the first portrait gallery in the world when it opened in 1856. The gallery moved in 1896 to its current site at St Martin's Place, off Trafalgar Square, and adjoining the National Gallery.
London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stand the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations.

Vídeo realizado por Aníbal Clemente para la Red Española de Historia y Arqueología el pasado 28 de diciembre de 2014 en el National Gallery de Londres, Inglaterra, uno de las pinacotecas más importantes del mudo.
La National Gallery o Galería Nacional es el principal museo de arte de Londres, situado en el límite norte de la plaza Trafalgar Square perteneciente al municipio de Westminster, en el centro del Gran Londres. Inaugurada en 1824, tiene una colección de más de 2300 pinturas, mayormente europeas, de un amplio periodo histórico entre 1250 y 1900. Por su contenido es una pinacoteca y no un museo generalista, pues no exhibe esculturas ni otras artes, las cuales se muestran en otros importantes museos de la capital. Las esculturas y artes decorativas están en el Victoria and Albert Museum; el Museo Británico alberga arqueología y dibujos, principalmente; y el arte posterior a 1900 se exhibe en Tate Modern. Algunas pinturas de autores británicos se exhiben en la Galería Nacional, pero la Colección Nacional de Arte Británico se concentra principalmente en el museo Tate Britain, específicamente dedicado al arte del país.
Los inicios de la galería se remontan al año 1824, cuando el estado británico compró los 38 cuadros de la colección privada del banquero John Julius Angerstein por 57.000 libras.
A partir de ese momento, la galería comenzó un rápido e importante desarrollo y actualmente cuenta con más de 2.300 pinturas, de las que dos tercios han sido donaciones privadas.
Desde su creación y debido al rápido crecimiento en el número de obras, la galería se ha visto obligada a cambiar de localización en diversas ocasiones. Actualmente, la galería se encuentra situada en su tercera ubicación, un edificio de notables extensiones creado por William Wilkins.
La colección
La Galería Nacional de Londres expone obras pictóricas de procedencia europea, desde 1250 hasta 1900. La colección permanente está compuesta por más de 2.300 pinturas, entre las que destacan algunas obras de Rembrandt, Tiziano, Velázquez, Van Gogh y Miguel Ángel.
Aunque la Galería Nacional posee un tamaño más reducido que otras galerías de renombre como el Louvre, es un museo de notable calidad y variedad artística que abarca la práctica totalidad de la historia de la pintura en el mundo occidental, siendo posible observar la evolución de los estilos pictóricos desde el Renacimiento hasta el Postimpresionismo.
Al contrario que otros museos de arte, la Galería Nacional no posee objetos decorativos o esculturas, sino que sus colecciones están centradas en el mundo de la pintura.
Un punto clave en la ciudad
La Galería Nacional de Londres, situada en la emblemática Trafalgar Square, es uno de los museos más importantes de la ciudad, por lo que no sería buena idea obviar su visita. Además de tratarse de uno de los mejores museos de Londres, la entrada es gratuita.

The National Gallery of London Travel
The National Gallery of London Travel- The National Gallery in London was founded in 1824 and houses a rich collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900[a] in its home on Trafalgar Square. The gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.[2] Its collection belongs to the public of the United Kingdom and entry to the main collection (though not some special exhibitions) is free of charge.
Unlike comparable art museums such as the Louvre in Paris or the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the National Gallery was not formed by nationalising an existing royal or princely art collection. It came into being when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of the insurance broker and patron of the arts John Julius Angerstein in 1824. After that initial purchase the Gallery was shaped mainly by its early directors, notably Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which comprise two thirds of the collection.[3] The resulting collection is small in size, compared with many European national galleries, but encyclopaedic in scope; most major developments in Western painting from Giotto to Cézanne[4] are represented with important works. It used to be claimed that this was one of the few national galleries that had all its works on permanent exhibition,[5] but this is no longer the case.
The present building, the third to house the National Gallery, was designed by William Wilkins from 1832--8. Only the façade onto Trafalgar Square remains essentially unchanged from this time, as the building has been expanded piecemeal throughout its history. The building often came under fire for its perceived aesthetic deficiencies and lack of space; the latter problem led to the establishment of the Tate Gallery for British art in 1897. The Sainsbury Wing, an extension to the west by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, is a notable example of Postmodernist architecture in Britain. The current Director of the National Gallery is Nicholas Penny. SOURCE : WIKIPEDIA

London Walk of Trafalgar Square incl. Nelson's Column and The National Gallery | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour of Trafalgar Square.
See all the sights as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through one of the most visited locations in London, Trafalgar Square.
Sights seen during the tour include The National Gallery, Nelson’s Column, fountains, a number of statues including huge lions and a giant thumb, Pikachu, Batman, Yoda, street art, a busker, and bubbles.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
Footage recorded February 2017.

London 03 - The National Gallery
The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The Gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Its collection belongs to the public of the United Kingdom and entry to the main collection is free of charge. It is the fourth most visited art museum in the world, after the Musée du Louvre, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Unlike comparable museums in continental Europe, the National Gallery was not formed by nationalising an existing royal or princely art collection. It came into being when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of John Julius Angerstein, an insurance broker and patron of the arts, in 1824. After that initial purchase the Gallery was shaped mainly by its early directors, notably Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which comprise two-thirds of the collection. The resulting collection is small in size, compared with many European national galleries, but encyclopaedic in scope; most major developments in Western painting from Giotto to Cézanne are represented with important works. It used to be claimed that this was one of the few national galleries that had all its works on permanent exhibition, but this is no longer the case.
The present building, the third to house the National Gallery, was designed by William Wilkins from 1832–38. Only the façade onto Trafalgar Square remains essentially unchanged from this time, as the building has been expanded piecemeal throughout its history. Wilkins's building was often criticised for the perceived weaknesses of its design and for its lack of space; the latter problem led to the establishment of the Tate Gallery for British art in 1897. The Sainsbury Wing, an extension to the west by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, is a notable example of Postmodernist architecture in Britain. The current Director of the National Gallery is Nicholas Penny.
