The National Gallery in London is the best art museum for classical painting. More than 2000 paintings from different art periods, from the 13th to the early 20th centuries, are exhibited here.
\nThe National Gallery houses the national collection of Western European painting from the 13th to the 19th centuries, with works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Turner, Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh and more.<\/p>\n

National Gallery (London), History, Architectural Structure, Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The National Gallery was founded in 1824 when the British government purchased a 38-picture collection of works from banker and collector John Julius Angerstein. In 1831, parliament agreed to construct a building when landscape painter and art collector Sir George Beaumont pledged his collection to the gallery on the condition that suitable accommodation be provided for its display and preservation. The paintings were displayed at Angerstein’s House at 100 Pall Mall until the new building was completed. Designed by William Wilkins, the gallery building was completed and opened in 1838 in Trafalgar Square<\/a>, considered the center of London. By choosing a place that can be easily reached on foot, the Parliament wanted to ensure that the artwork would be appreciated by all segments of society.
\nDuring the first 20 years, the management of the National Gallery was criticized by the public, which prompted the government to implement reforms. They established the post of director, who had the responsibility of shaping the collection and managing the gallery. The new director, Sir Charles Eastlake, traveled across Europe to purchase new works of art and expanded his Italian painting collection. The gallery’s collection was further expanded in 1871 with the purchase of 77 paintings by the late Prime Minister, mainly Dutch and Flemish. Knowing that the gallery was not providing enough space, the government asked architect EM Barry to submit designs for the reconstruction. The reconstruction was completed in 1876, with the decision to keep the existing building and add a new wing.
\nWith the restructuring, the gallery was able to return to a large collection of paintings, drawings and watercolors created by British artists that had to be exhibited elsewhere due to lack of space. To accommodate permanent collections and changing exhibitions, Lord Sainsbury and his brothers Simon and Timothy Sainsbury decided to finance the construction of a new wing in 1985.<\/p>\n

\u200bNational Gallery Architectural Structure, Interiors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No other collection has such consistent quality and better tells the story of Western European painting. Almost all of the 2,300 paintings in the National Gallery collection are on permanent display. The gallery came to life in 1824 when the British Government purchased 38 paintings by banker John Julius Angerstein. The paintings were displayed in Angerstein’s former home on Pall Mall, as there was no suitable place to display the collection. The collection was moved to its current location in Trafalgar Square in 1838.
\nThere was much criticism of the National Gallery’s building, and in 1869 architect EM Barry was asked to submit designs for the reconstruction of the entire Gallery in Trafalgar Square.
\nAfter much discussion, it was decided to keep the existing building and add a new wing. This was completed in 1876 and seven new exhibition halls were added to the east end, including the impressive dome.
\nAfter a long struggle of the Board of Trustees to provide space for expansion for the National Gallery, in 1907 the barracks behind the Gallery were cleared and the construction of five new galleries began.
\nAn area next to the Gallery has been empty since a furniture shop was bombed and destroyed in WWII. The new Sainsbury Wing opened in 1991 to showcase the entire early Renaissance collection. This came after the North Extension, which opened in 1975 and provided a significant amount of extra exhibition space: nine large rooms and three small closets. Natural light was used as much as possible in this new gallery. The Sainsbury Wing was added to the UK’s National Heritage List in 2018.
\nThe gallery today has a total area of 46,396 square meters, following the completion of the Sainsbury Wing. The art museum is divided into 4 areas and each area is dedicated to specific centuries. These areas are divided into numbered rooms covering a specific topic.<\/p>\n
