Come and celebrate the National Gallery's 200th anniversary. It has just rehung its entire collection and added 400 paintings to display. This guided tour offers you an opportunity to have a closer look at paintings by the ground-breaking artists, such as Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Paul Cézanne. Considered deeply controversial at the time, their work marked a dramatic shift away from traditional styles.

But of course they didn’t just invent new methods of depicting light, form and subject matter without looking anew at the art of the past. We will talk about how the work by J.M.W. Turner, Rembrandt, Caravaggio and other Old Masters influenced the artists of the future, the importance of the 17th-century Dutch art. We will stop to admire some jewels of the gallery’s collection: Holbein, Michelangelo, Canaletto and Moroni.

And what about women artists, you might ask? There are only 4 pieces currently on display and we will dive into the history of female painters. All ages are welcome, no previous knowledge of art history is required. Ask questions and get excited, this will be an art ride like no other.
