Watch: Hidden Gems of The National Gallery
The National Gallery has stood in the heart of London for two hundred years, and over that time has amassed one of the greatest collections of European painting anywhere in the world. From the Wilton Diptych and the Arnolfini Portrait, to The Ambassadors, the Rokeby Venus, and the Fighting Temeraire , many of its works have become world icons of art history. But there are thousands of paintings that most people walk straight by, gems of the collection hidden in plain sight! This online talk will examine a selection of some of the National Galleries greatest ‘forgotten’ works, and reveal what makes each one of them worth a closer inspection.
