Why take this tour?

Embark on a transformative journey through the vibrant world of art on a captivating tour at London's National Gallery. As a passionate art historian, I am thrilled to set the paintings in context, relate paintings to each other, speak to the patron/painter relationship and explain how artistic influences travelled from country to country, and reveal classical and anti-classical movements in art. Imagine strolling through the hallowed halls of the National Gallery, surrounded by masterpieces that have withstood the test of time. With my expertise as your guide, you will not only witness these incredible artworks but also unlock their secrets, stories, and symbolism. I will unravel the hidden narratives within each stroke and colour palette and give you the tools to do so on your future gallery visits. By the end of our journey, you will emerge with a profound connection to art, artists and their patrons, and the cultures within which they lived. This is no ordinary tour.
