I agree, room 34 (Great Britain 1750-1850) is special and my favourite. Loved the Constable and Turner paintings. My favourite is Dutch Boats in a Gale by Turner 👍
@@JamesGadbury Absolutely. The paintings there were a revelation to me, along with a painting in another room (I've forgotten the name) of Jacob van Ruysdael. It showed a small river, and the froth from a gentle waterfall was so realistic that I felt I shouldn't get too close lest I get doused.
Interesting overview of the gallery. But one question rises - how happened that this kind of music considered suitable to literally everything that can be shown on screen...
Thank you for sharing your favorites. I was confused with "The Toilet of Venus" until is looked up the definition and discovered its archaic meaning of a dressing table! So I will have fun telling my friends my wife's nighttime routine includes a twenty-minute toilet sitting!
How coult it be possible to forget painters as Botticelli with Venus and Mars, Bellini, Mantegna or Sebastiano del Piombo, the first names I remember...
Everybody has their own favourites & this lady was simply choosing her own personal top ten. The National Gallery is massive & full of masterpieces. You could ask one thousand people & they’d all have different opinions.
Disagree with the choices...too pedestrian. I love the Caravaggio's, I love the Sainsbury Wing and # 1 should have been the Leonardo Cartoon considering all its been through i.e.being shot. I love the NG except it is in Trafalgar Square. I've live in London twice . I would visit the gallery at least once a week more often twice. I have been in Trafalgar Square 2X's...I don't like pigeons.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Of course the choices are just my opinion based on what I liked the best from my visit. I'm glad to hear from you what you would have put in the top ten.
Well, you'll be happy to know that the pigeons have been killed and are no more. There are hardly any pigeons now in London. I don't know when you were last here but it's been at least 10 or 15 years since the pigeons were taken away and poisoned.
Very good selection but for me no way does Monet’s painting get close to the Madonna of the Rocks, never mind ahead of it! Though of course there’s no arguing with someone’s personal list.
The Velasquez "Venus" like all such "voluptuous" nudes painted or sculpted over the centuries are essentially thought of now as "soft core porn for old men".
As a Venetian, thank you for putting Canaletto in your top ten list , though please 🙏don't call the Doge's Bucintoro "a gondola", which as you probably know is something very different.
Said by the museum itself one if the the most appreciated pictures is the death of Lady Jane of Paul Delaroche...in a BBC program about art the museum director says that the wood behind the painting shows marks of an over wear that any other picture has. It certainly must have made it through the top 10. I love Moner, but there are dozens of Gare Saint Lazar, it's not that especial.
A tragic shame that such talent has been wasted on images of a religion that centers on the concept of "salvation" meaning that Nazi death camp commanders can go to Heaven (since the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit) but their 6 million innocent Jewish victims will be Tortured in Hell Forever (since none may come to the father except by the son).
It's a further tragic shame that one can only draw politics from art, which delves deeper into the psyche than religion. Art is what you make of it - don't make it negative.
Try to stifle your prejudices for a moment and judge "religious" art, music,etc as works of art. You do not have to"buy the message." Give them at least the same consideration you would give the so called "Piss Christ", Andy Wahol's Soup Cans or Queens "Bohemian Rhapsody" .
So much to see there. Don't miss the room of Turner paintings!

Turner should be included for sure, although the Tate has most of his works
The music is crass. It may work in McDonalds, but not the National Gallery. I wanted to learn something. But I gave up.
Why is everybody so negative? She said these are HER favorite paintings. I enjoyed the video.

It cheapens these great works of art.It´s appalling!
Ska house played on kids toys
that techno music for such masterpieces ! what an insult!!!!
I cannot belive that, you haven't put the arnolfini portrait which is more important than these paintings, for me incredible
I was thinking the same...
Good eye great share thanks x
Thank you for watching!
I appreciate your efforts in showing us this video as I can not travel there to view it myself. Thank you!
Such a shame that the music overrides what’s being said. What’s the point of it?
One of my fav places in LOndon
NATIONAL GALLERY IS ONE OF THE BEST GALLERIES IN LONDON 💯

Bom demais💢mostre a pintura de Haendel!🤜🤛
Very good choice well done
How coult it be possible to forget painters as Botticelli with Venus and Mars, Bellini, Mantegna or Sebastiano del Piombo, the first names I remember...
How about Titian, Piero della Francesca, Claude Lorrain, Turner, etc. ?
Arnolfini portrait

Impossible to do a top 10. Maybe a top 50.
Nice
thank you!
The missing artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner.
P.S. best observed very early in the quiet.
True. Surely Britain's favourite painting - the Fighting Temeraire - must be included!
Also Constable's - the Hay Wain. I was amazed by Van Gogh's Sunflowers. So dingy in colours, and so 3-dimensional.
Surprised that Holbein's 'The Ambassadors' is not here. Still a lovely video.
the music is to distracting..sorry, only made it to No 3
In fact I liked this so much, I would like you to please do another of another Art location please.
I'm glad you like this type of video. I do hope to do some more like this in the future.

Titian: Bacchus and Ariadne or The Death of Actaeon

Only 2 paintings of Goya hanging ?! No mention of Goya !?
VELAZZZZZZZZZZZquezzzz!!
Long time since I've been there, but hope they have better paintings than you picked here.
alguien me puede traducir el de paolo veronese por favooor F pk a todos le da pereza :c
You missed Caravaggio...
Terrible musak in the background
And Arnolfini family?
Monet better of Leonard or Botticelli??? mmmmm
O som ao fundo é desnecessário e irritante
Surprise ! non of the masters is British ...!

A total misrepresentation of Christian belief - both about the supposed fates of the Nazi commanders and of the Jewish people.
