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, Wednesday 10th October, 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 of the Rocks (about 1491/2-9 and 1506-8) by Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519). We then looked three pictures, Annunciation, Healing of a Man Born Blind and Transfiguration (all 1307/8-11) by Duccio (active 1278; died 1319). While here we also briefly looked at other partially dismembered altarpieces, such as the Santa Croce Altarpiece (1324-25) by Ugolino di Nerio (active 1317; died 1339/49?). We then moved on to room 29 in the main building to look at Minerva protects Pax from Mars ('Peace and War') (1629-30) by Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640). This was followed the mysterious Toilet of Venus ('The Rokeby Venus') (1647-51), by Diego Velaquez (1699-1660) We finally we ended in room 43 with Bathers at La Grenouillère (1869) by Claude-Oscar Monet (1840 - 1926).
My next guided tours of the National Gallery will be on Sunday 14th October at the usual times of 11:30 and 14:30. Also on this day I will be conducting a 10 minute talk at 16:00 in room 21 on River Landscape with Horseman and Peasants (about 1658-60) by Aelbert Cuyp (1620 - 1691)
