This was just brilliant, I became quite emotional watching it. So many beautiful works, a favourite would have to be the Arnolfini portrait. Well done all! Looking forward to the next episode.

Literally, millions of people all over the globe are grateful for those who helped bring about the NG. From 1994-1996 almost every Wednesday afternoon was spent at NG learning as to why art is so incredibly important to understanding what it means to be human… thank you…

[@nationalgallery]

Thanks for your lovely comment :)

[@Sy1mmxxiv]

@ you are more than welcome … I am from Australia and I miss that place so very much…

[@jamesallison4875]

Everything you do is so well thought out and presented. This was no exception. I’ve only been there once but it was a memorable visit indeed. Thank you.

[@jesusaroca5455]

Thank you for enlightening us about the origins of this precious sanctuary of beauty and history, and infinite gratitude to the people who contributed to its birth, its growth and, of course, to the people who have the privilege of currently working to maintain, preserve, study, increase and disseminate its content and its container. I look forward to the second video. Congratulations on your 200th anniversary and may it celebrate many more centuries! Gracias por ilustrarnos sobre los orígenes de ese valioso santuario de belleza e historia, e infinito agradecimiento a las personas que contribuyeron a su nacimiento, su crecimiento y , por supuesto, a las personas que tienen el privilegio de trabajar actualmente para mantener, preservar, estudiar, aumentar y divulgar su contenido y su continente. Quedo a la espera del segundo vídeo. ¡ Felicidades por sus 200 años y que cumpla muchísimos siglos más !

Amazing series! I work nearby and spend most of my lunch hours at the national gallery. I find something new on every visit and it brings calm in the middle of a crazy work day.

[@nationalgallery]

Really glad you can find a regular moment of calm with us. Thanks for watching the series!

When I think about the years I lived in London, the National Gallery is a prominent part of my memories. Ducking in to do a drive by of some masterpieces on a weekend then topping it off with a coffee at the top of the steps, looking straight down Whitehall, towards the Abbey and Westminster. Magical.

[@nationalgallery]

Wonderful 😊

[@lynnblack6493]

Here we go. Good fun and great learning opportunity.

[@behindthemaestrosdesk]

This 200th anniversary of the gallery and its extraordinary history does not just only represent the gallery, but a tribute to art itself; the talent and sentiment that is unveiled by the human hand, mind and soul; as well as the artist’s viewer, a reason a gallery consisting of the largest collection collection of paintings of the nation was made. So the viewer can get an immersive, intimate and deeply personal experience with the artist, with starful eyes that wander up and down the strokes of paint in dire awe…

[@spalmer4609]

Most excellent!

🌹🌺 Thanks National Gallery; wonderful story. Humanity's patrimony. Needs to be well protected from primitive mentalities.

Thank you for watching!

👍👏❤ from 🇮🇹

[@mrsgingernoisette]

I wish there could be a 3d tour for people like me, I'll never ever be able to visit there, I wish that I could appreciate it all as if I'm walking in there.. All people that had contributed to buy paintings, find paintings, hide paintings in the war time, they'll never be forgotten❤

Full Documentary: 200 Years of the National Gallery Ep1 - Foundations (1824-1900) 1841pm 10.11.24 excellent. whether you agree with the art history dished out with the imagery or no... a fine place to spend a few hours, i feel. do i understand? not really... but then there's nothing being said that hasn't been said before. so, maybe, indulge with the innate autodidact once in a while...

Дякую за вашу роботу! Можливість відвідувати Національну Галерею є неймовірним задоволенням в ці дуже важки для мене часи. Галерея просто чудова!

"Key works in our collection of western European arts" while the collections of Chinese, Egyptian and African arts, which make up of sigficant parts of the gallery and speak volumes about the UK's colonial past, are left unmentioned. I thought the National Gallery would have the decency to face its own dark past at this critical time. Guess they are below that.

[@nationalgallery]

Hi Mike, our collection focuses on Western European painting, from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy, to the French Impressionists. In this documentary we also share some of our recent research into the role that slavery has had in the history of the National Gallery too.
