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, Monday 4th 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: the altarpiece and predella by Carlo Crivelli (about 1430/5 - about 1494), La Madonna della Rondine (The Madonna of the Swallow, after 1490), we then moved on to the medieval splendour of Margarito of Arezzo (documented 1262) The Virgin and Child Enthroned, with Narrative Scenes, 1260’s. In room 8 we explored the mannerist aesthetic of Agnolo di Cosimo (called Bronzino) (1503 - 1572) An Allegory with Venus and Cupid (about 1545). Next on the tour was: Pieter Bruegel the Elder (active 1550/1; died 1569) The Adoration of the Kings (1564). We finally ended with two pictures of modernity by Claude-Oscar Monet (1840 - 1926), Bathers at La Grenouillère (1869) and The Beach atTrouville
