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 29th July, 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: a painting, by Jan van Eyck (active 1422; died 1441), The Arnolfini Portrait, (1434) we then looked at The Wilton Diptych (1395-9) by Anonymous French or English? This was followed by a look at The Adoration of the Kings (1554), by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (active 1550/1; died 1569). In room 31 we surveyed the vast Equestrian Portrait of Charles I (about 1637-8) by Anthony van Dyck (1599 - 1641). We finally ended with Psyche showing her Sisters her Gifts from Cupid (1753), by Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732 - 1806)

My next guided tours of the National Gallery will be on Sunday 5th August at the usual times of 11:30 and 14:30, and I will also be giving a Ten Minute talk on Lady Cockburn and Her Three Eldest Sons (1773), by Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 - 1792) in room 34 at 16:00 also on Sunday 5th August.
