Of all the world's great art museums, the National Gallery, London is the only place where you can truly grasp the breathtaking scope of European painting between 1200 and 1900. Established in 1824, the National Gallery was commissioned as the people's museum-a cultural institution meant to reflect the artistic legacy both of Great Britain and of the European continent. Inside its halls are more than 2,500 European paintings by some of Western civilization's greatest masters, including Titian, Rubens, and Rembrandt. To browse through the hallways and wings of the National Gallery is to witness the powerful evolution both of European painting and the European history that it represents. Now you read about this world-class collection through Museum Masterpieces: The National Gallery, London. In 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Catherine B. Scallen offers a memorable introduction to this remarkable artistic institution and its rich collection of masterworks.This course also offers a breathtaking and comprehensive overview of the history of European painting.
