National Gallery
Displaying one of the most comprehensive collections of paintings in the world, the National Gallery is London's second-most visited museum. The collections, which present an almost complete cross-section of European painting from 1260 until 1920, are especially strong in the Dutch Masters and the Italian Schools of the 15th and 16th centuries. In the Italian galleries look for works by Fra Angelico, Giotto, Bellini, Botticelli, Correggio, Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese, and especially for Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna and Child with St. Anne and John the Baptist, Raphael's The Crucifixion and The Entombment by Michelangelo.
In the German and Dutch galleries are works of Dürer, van Dyck, Frans Hals, Vermeer, and Rembrandt, and among the artists from the 18th century through 1920, Hogarth, Reynolds, Sargent, Gainsborough, Constable, and Turner are standouts. French works include those by Ingres, Delacroix, Daumier, Monet (including The Water-Lily Pond), Manet, Degas, Renoir, and Cezanne.
