Guided visit around the newly reopened Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery


Details
The National Gallery's Sainsbury Wing has just reopened after 3 years of restoration - and it is stunning. The spaces are airy and light and its paintings glow like jewels against beautiful dark grey walls.
So I am very excited to offer you a fully guided tour of the Sainsbury Wing
and tell you the story how art evolved from the Italian early Renaissance in Italy to the invention of oil paint in the Netherlands. We will admire works by Botticelli, Leonardo, Ucello, Piero della Francesca, Jan van Eyck and many others.
We will also stop at the unexpected contemporary piece specially commissioned from British artist Richard Long and created in situ at the top of the main staircase.
