'Said to be one of the greatest collections of paintings⁠ in the world, and who are we to argue? With over 2,300 artworks on show, stretching out over eight hundred years, there’s no chance that you’ll ever feel like you’ve ‘done’ this goliath of great art. Choose from one of the mapped art routes to see a⁠ selection of key paintings (Stubb’s surprisingly contemporary-⁠ feeling painting of a horse, Whistlejacket, is a must) or join a free tour of the collection highlights. Don’t miss the recently acquired self-portrait by Renaissance trailblazer Artemisia Gentileschi – a⁠ true masterpiece and one of only about 20 works by female artists in the collection. Their big-ticket exhibitions are always among the best of the year, so don’t miss out.'⁠ ⁠ Gallery: The National Gallery @nationalgallery⁠ Image: The National Gallery @nationalgallery⁠ ⁠ As featured in 'An Opinionated Guide to Art London' by Christina Brown @christinarosebrown available to pre-order now.
