Art galereys of
London
Speaking about art galereys of London we should first
of all
mention The national galery, The national portret galerey
and The
tate galery. I would like to tell you about National portret
galery and about Tate galery.
The national galery houses one of the richest and most
extensive collections of painting in the world. It stands
to the
north of the Trafalgar Square. the galerey 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 galerey. The National galerey was founded
in
1824 when the government bought the collection of John Angerstein
which included 38 paintings.
The Tate gtalery houses the national collection of british
painting from the 16-th century to the present day. It is
also
the national galerey for modern art, including painting
and
sculpture made in Britain, Europe, America and other countries.
It was opened in 1897 as the national galerey of british
art. It
owes it's establishment to Suie Henritate who built the
galerey
and gave his own collection of 65 painting.
