DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This Tiny Folio book highlights the works of The National Gallery, London, which has one of the most magnificent--and the most beloved--collections of paintings in the world. Founded in 1824, the National Gallery houses a rich and comprehensive range of European painting from the Middle Ages to the 1920s. Among the works represented in this colorful and compact survey of the Gallery's collection are masterpieces by Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cézanne, as well as some lesser-known delights. Located on Trafalgar Square, in the heart of London, the original Wilkins Building has recently been extended by the handsome new Sainsbury Wing, which contains some of the world's greatest paintings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Art Treasures of London Painting Although many handbooks to the public art galleries of London have been published during the last few years, no concise guide has yet appeared which displays at a glance their vast but scattered wealth. It is impossible for the art-lover to discover the where abouts of all the existing examples of any particular School or master in London without the loss Of much time. And unless he is able to collate a score of catalogues (some out of print and many out of date) the task is almost hopeless. This volume consists of three parts (i.) Plans of the galleries with general information. (il) A chronological list of artists arranged according to the order of their schools, including classified lists of all the pictures representing their works to be seen within the London area. The brief biographical notes are in no sense intended to be exhaustive, but will be found useful as a rapid memory aid. (iii.) A complete index to the names of the artists.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →- The ultimate insider's guide to London's hidden art treasures for locals and experienced travelers - Features interesting and unusual places not found in traditional travel guides - Part of the international 111 Places series with over 650 titles and 3.8 million copies in print worldwide - Appeals to both the local market (more than 8.9 million people call London home) and the tourist market (around 30 million people visit London every year!) - Fully illustrated with 111 full-page color photographs The hidden art of London is for the ever-curious roamer of both the back streets and the familiar places you never quite see - churches, gardens, graveyards, pubs. What little garden finds the poet John Keats sitting in the corner of a bench? Which abandoned building tells the story of a great Roman Road? There are always marvels hidden in plain view - the back corner of a museum containing great sculptures by Rodin or the naked, street-corner golden boy, who marks where the Great Fire of London finally petered out. A famous literary cat or a painting by Hogarth on the bend of a stairs in an ancient hospital. This guidebook takes you exploring London beyond its most famous sights to find the art we have never quite noticed before: the hidden statues, paintings, and murals that have escaped from the official museums, and often live unnoticed lives in tucked away places.
