National Gallery

by WBlackwell on May 25, 2015

This is a very cool gallery.  My only disappointment is that one of my favorite paintings Rent Day by the English artist Edwin Landseer  is currently on tour in California.  An artist who did animals very well, it is Landseer who designed the lions at the foot of the Nelson Monument in Trafalgar Square.  But Ladnseer not withstanding, let’s go on a tour of the Gallery.
