The National Gallery houses the national collection of Western European painting consisting of around 2,300 pictures, including many instantly recognisable masterpeices.

The Gallery is in four wings, each covering a specific timespan, with the overall timespan ranging from 1260 to 1900, and including every European school of painting. If your interest is in art after 1900 then you should visit The Tate Gallery which holds the national collection of 20th-century art. An agreement exists between the two galleries which established the 1900 cut-off point.

The works of the following prominent artists can be seen: Duccio, Masaccio, Jan van Eyck , Botticelli, Piero della Francesca, Memling, Mantegna, Bellini, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Correggio, Bronzino, Titian , Veronese, Tintoretto, Holbein, Cranach, Bruegel, Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck, Poussin, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Vel£zquez, Canaletto, Tiepolo, David, Gainsborough, Stubbs , Turner, Constable, Ingres, Friedrich, Corot, Manet, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Seurat, Van Gogh, and C←zanne.

The National Gallery website is very informative and includes images and details of the more important works. You will also find details of temporary exhibitions there.
