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 23rd September, 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 Virgin and Child (1426) by Masaccio (1401 - 1428/9?). We briefly compared this to The Quaratesi Madonna (1425), in the same room by Gentile da Fabriano (about 1385 - 1427). We then looked at the portrait of Doge Leonardo Loredan (1501-2) by Giovanni Bellini (active about 1459; died 1516). We then on moved to room 5 to look at The Crucifixion, a triptych (about 1510) by the unknown artist referred to as the Master of Delft (active early 16th century). After this, it was through to room 4 to look at Cupid complaining to Venus (about 1525) by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472 - 1553), and we finally ended in room 44 with the ethereal image of Lake Keitele (1905) by the only Finish artist in The National Gallery’s collection, Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865 - 1931).
