Art gallereys
of London
Speaking about art gallereys of London we should first
of all mention
The national gallery, The national portret galerey and The
tate gallery.
I would like to tell you about National portret gallery
and about Tate
gallery.
The national gallery houses one of the richest and most
extensive
collections of painting in the world. It stands to the north
of the
Trafalgar Square. the gallerey was desighned by William
Wilkins and
build in 1834-37. The collection covers all schools and
periods of
painting, but is a specially famous for it's examples of
Rembrant and
Rubents. The british schools is only moderately represented
as the
national collections are shared with the Tate gallerey.
The National
gallerey was founded in 1824 when the government bought
the collection
of John Angerstein which included 38 paintings.
The Tate gallery houses the national collection of british
painting
from the 16-th century to the present day. It is also the
national
gallerey for modern art, including painting and sculpture
made in
Britain, Europe, America and other countries. It was opened
in 1897 as
the national gallerey of british art. It owes it's establishment
to Suie
Henritate who built the gallerey and gave his own collection
of 65
painting.
