In this video I share with you my top 10 favorite paintings from the National Gallery London.
10. Paolo Veronese - The Adoration of the Kings
A ray of light illuminates Christ the Child held by Virgin Mary. In bright colors, with aristocratic elegance, the kings the angels, Joseph and the shepherds are in adoration. The stable is built in roman ruins, symbolizing the triumph of christianity over the pagans.
9. Velasquez - The toilet of Venus
Venus is reclining on a bed backing us, while she is looking in the mirror held by a Cupid the protector of love. Even if she is turned away we can see her face. The mirror shows the reflection, suggesting that she is observing herself. The composition mainly uses shades of red, white, and grey, which are used even in Venus's skin.
8. Jean Baptiste Camille Corot -The four times of the day -
Corot painted these four panels in a single week. representing different moments of the same day. Each scene traces the changing light in the sky, the golden glow of the Morning turns into the brightness of Noon, to the blue light of the Evening and finally to a starry Night.
7. Canaletto- The Basin of San Marco Ascension Day
This painting shows the annual festival that symbolize the marriage of Venice with the sea, which is taking place for more than 1000 years. The Dodge is leaving the palace. His golden gondola can ben seen in the crowd, he will go out in the sea and throw a gold ring in the Adriatic so that Venice will continue to dominate the trade market and be prosperous.
6. Paul Cezanne -The Grounds of the Chateau Noir
The chateau Noir was a rambling house set on extensive grounds, where the artist painted some of the finest landscape of his last years. In this dramatic view of the rocky ridge above the house entangled branches and foliage form a screen nearly obscuring the sky, A dab of orange placed at the center of the canvas lends vibrancy to the greens of the trees.
5. Michelangelo - The Manchester Madonna
You know you are one of the Masters when your unfinished work is shown in a museum as prestigious as this. This unfinished painting is one of Michelangelo’s works. The Virgin Mary is holding a book while Christ, portrayed here as a child, is pointing to a text. The angels on the right side are studying a scroll, likely given to them by John the Baptist.
4. Rembrandt - Belshazzar’s feast
Interrupting the kings party, a divine hand appeared and wrote on the wall a cryptic text that declared the end of Babylon. The king is scared, the guests are terrified, the gestures are uncontrolled, the wine is spilled on the tables. History tells us that on that same night Babylon fell to Media-Persia.
3. Vincent Van Gogh - Sunflowers
The painting was intended to decorate the room that was set aside for Gauguin at the "Yellow House. The built up texture of the sunflowers creates dimension from the full bloom in bright to melancholic. Color yellow is associated with hope enthusiasm and friendship. Van Gogh suggests that the flower are a symbol of gratitude.
2. Leonardo Da Vinci - The Virgin of the rocks
Christ child is on the right with an angel by his side, blessing his infant cousin John the baptist. John turns to Jesus folding his hands in prayer and holding a symbolic cross. The Virgin Mary is the image of beauty, surrounded by a ideal landscape. She connects the two children by holding the hand above her son in a protective gesture, while touching John’s shoulder.
1. Claude Monet - The Gare St-Lazare
This is one of the 12 series that Monet painted on the spot. Two steam trains are in the station while the passengers are going down. It is a perfect portrait of what the modern industrial era meant: a bright day with pure sunlight, clouds of steam, busy peoples going in and out, dynamic style in hues of gray.

[@brendareeves5086]

Why is everybody so negative? She said these are HER favorite paintings. I enjoyed the video.

[@marycahill546]

So much to see there. Don't miss the room of Turner paintings!

[@JamesGadbury]

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 👍

[@michaelmelen9062]

@@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.

[@lindaroth6273]

Turner should be included for sure, although the Tate has most of his works

[@xcesar4impx666]

that techno music for such masterpieces ! what an insult!!!!

[@99thehighstreet69]

Good eye great share thanks x

[@mihaelagimlin]

Thank you for watching!

[@middleearth8809]

The music is crass. It may work in McDonalds, but not the National Gallery. I wanted to learn something. But I gave up.

[@edrandomed]

I appreciate your efforts in showing us this video as I can not travel there to view it myself. Thank you!

[@corintomartins467]

Bom demais💢mostre a pintura de Haendel!🤜🤛

[@hugofernunez]

One of my fav places in LOndon

[@lovemussb1940]

Very good choice well done

[@alexismarquez3674]

NATIONAL GALLERY IS ONE OF THE BEST GALLERIES IN LONDON 💯

[@edwardwalsh4454]

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!

[@nayoungjin6114]

thank you!

[@emilielias3984]

I cannot belive that, you haven't put the arnolfini portrait which is more important than these paintings, for me incredible

[@maartenvanbergen6364]

I was thinking the same...

[@maksimkempe3425]

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...

[@cecilefox9136]

It cheapens these great works of art.It´s appalling!

[@object764]

Ska house played on kids toys

[@pardeepjaani625]

Nice

[@edrandomed]

In fact I liked this so much, I would like you to please do another of another Art location please.

[@mihaelagimlin]

I'm glad you like this type of video. I do hope to do some more like this in the future.

[@ingriddubbel8468]

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.

[@mihaelagimlin]

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.

[@ironguanyin123]

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.

[@studogable]

Surprised that Holbein's 'The Ambassadors' is not here. Still a lovely video.

[@kathleenwillis8290]

Such a shame that the music overrides what’s being said. What’s the point of it?

[@francescotiano70]

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...

[@allensloane5833]

How about Titian, Piero della Francesca, Claude Lorrain, Turner, etc. ?

[@pobensportjr2128]

Arnolfini portrait

[@christophebonhoefferofbelg9846]

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.

[@pobensportjr2128]

@@christophebonhoefferofbelg9846 true👍

[@AA-ke5cu]

Impossible to do a top 10. Maybe a top 50.

[@bartonseagrave9605]

The missing artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner. P.S. best observed very early in the quiet.

[@mikelowe2094]

True. Surely Britain's favourite painting - the Fighting Temeraire - must be included!

[@mikelowe2094]

Also Constable's - the Hay Wain. I was amazed by Van Gogh's Sunflowers. So dingy in colours, and so 3-dimensional.

[@kanefay2363]

the music is to distracting..sorry, only made it to No 3

[@GFSLombardo]

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".

[@pabloamicarelli3351]

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.

[@deckiedeckie]

VELAZZZZZZZZZZZquezzzz!!

[@lantonella236]

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.

[@stalkek]

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.

[@object764]

Titian: Bacchus and Ariadne or The Death of Actaeon

[@martamv_26]

alguien me puede traducir el de paolo veronese por favooor F pk a todos le da pereza :c

[@willalwaystelehandler8450]

Only 2 paintings of Goya hanging ?! No mention of Goya !?

[@archiewoosung5062]

Long time since I've been there, but hope they have better paintings than you picked here.

[@johnpatowary]

You missed Caravaggio...

[@pietrocaporella9290]

And Arnolfini family? Monet better of Leonard or Botticelli??? mmmmm

[@suehalket5065]

Terrible musak in the background

[@georgestown]

Surprise ! non of the masters is British ...!

[@marisahelenaviscontiweingr9594]

O som ao fundo é desnecessário e irritante

[@MasterOfSparks]

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).

[@labrinth999]

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.

[@GFSLombardo]

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" .

[@willx9352]

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