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 26th August, 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: Tobias and the Angel (about 1470-5) by Workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio (about 1435 - 1488). We briefly mentioned an altarpiece in the same room, called the The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian (completed 1475), by Antonio del Pollaiuolo (about 1432 - 1498) and Piero del Pollaiuolo (about 1441 - before 1496). We then looked at a picture in a state of deterioration, the oil on linen painting of The Entombment (probably 1450s) by Dirk Bouts (active about 1459; died 1516). We then moved on to room 9 in the main building to look at one of four unexplainable ceiling paintings called Happy Union (about 1575) by Paolo Veronese (1528 - 1588). The others in the same room that we did not look at were: Unfaithfulness, Scorn, and Respect. This was followed the highly influential Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba (1648), by Claude GelléeLorraine Carthage
