Welcome back art lovers. For those of you who don't yet know, let me remind you the National Gallery, London
I hope that those of you, who were able to attend my free guided tour at the National Gallery today, Sunday 24th June, enjoyed the choice of paintings. But if you missed them or just want a reminded of which pictures we looked at so you can visit them again with a friend. Here is a list of those paintings:
We began with: looking at a painting from afar, in context to the Sainsbury Wing’s architecture, by Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano (about 1459/60 - about 1517/18), The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, about 1502-4, we then looked at the triptych (three panel altarpiece painting) consisting of Christ before Pilate (Front of Panel), The Crucifixion (Central Panel), and Lamentation (Front of Panel) (about 1490-5) by the unknown Master of the Aachen Altarpiece (active late 15th to early 16th century). This was followed by a look at Dutch painting with the works Belshazzar's Feast, (about 1636-8), Self Portrait at the Age of 34 (1640) and Saskia van Uylenburgh in Arcadian Costume (1635), all by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606 - 1669). In room 29 we explored a painting called Minerva protects Pax from Mars ('Peace and War'), (1629-30) by Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640). We finally ended with The Toilet of Venus ('The Rokeby Venus') (1647-51), by Diego Velázquez (1599 - 1660)

My next guided tours of the National Gallery will be on Saturday 7th July at the usual times of 11:30 and 14:30, and if you missed my talk on The Toilet of Venus ('The Rokeby Venus') (1647-51), by Diego Velázquez (1599 - 1660) I will be giving it again as a Ten Minute talk in room 30 at 16:00 also on Saturday 7th July.
