Title:: Portraits of a Man and a Woman
Object name(s):: Picture; British
Brief description:: These two pictures, both painted in oil on board, were designed to hang together as portraits of a husband and wife. They are said to have been given by the painter Sir William Boxall RA, director of the National Gallery from 1865 to 1874, to his friend, the architect James Wyatt RA (1746--1813). Wyatt’s great-grandson, H.W. Standen, presented them to the National Gallery in 1964 as a 'Self-Portrait of William Boxall and a companion portrait of his wife'. However, the features in the male portrait are unlike those in Boxall's Self Portrait at the Age of Nineteen, which is also in the National Gallery, and he never married. It is now thought more likely that these are early portraits by Boxall of his parents.

Title:: Bust Portrait of Leonardo Rinaldi (?)
Object name(s):: Sculpture; Italian
Brief description:: This Carrara marble portrait bust of a bearded man wearing neoclassical military costume is chiselled on the reverse: 'LEONARDUS RINALDIUS/ A. VICTORIA. F/ MDXXXXVI' ('Leonardo Rinaldi / A. [presumably Alessandro] Vittoria F/ 1546'). However, the bust is not in the style of Alessandro Vittoria (1525--1608), the leading sculptor working in Venice in the second half of the sixteenth century, nor has a Leonardo Rinaldi been identified among Venetian noblemen of that time. The sculpture is nonetheless of very high quality and is likely to have been made in Italy in about 1620. The inscription was probably added to increase the value of the sculpture when it was sold.It was presented to the National Gallery by the Art Fund in 1964 in memory of William Gibson, who was Keeper of the National Gallery from 1938 to 1960. It is one of the very few sculptures in the National Gallery’s collection.

Title:: Getty Entrance Sculptures
Object name(s):: Sculpture; British
Brief description:: The National Gallery’s Getty Entrance is surmounted with a figure of Victory, framed by another full-length, draped female figure in each of the niches to left and right. This pair of flanking winged figures carry attributes to identify who they are: both clasping a palette and paintbrushes, they symbolise the art of painting fostered inside the building. All three statues are the work of the British neoclassical sculptor Edward Hodges Baily, although he made them not for the National Gallery but for the Marble Arch, a monument intended to celebrate Britain’s defeat of the French in the Napoleonic Wars. When the figures were repurposed to adorn the nation’s public art gallery in a cost-cutting exercise, their original military accoutrements of spear and shield were transformed into more appropriate brushes and palettes.

Title:: The Village Holiday
Object name(s):: Picture; British
Brief description:: Wilkie was famous for his paintings of everyday life. Here he represents a local pub scene. Recalling the classical theme of choosing between vice and virtue, one man is torn between staying to drink with his friends or going home with his family. The man slumped in the corner on the right acts as a stark warning of the effects of drinking to excess. Between the large oil sketch made in preparation for this work, and this final version, the artist amended the composition to sit the buildings further back within the scene.This painting was purchased from the collection of Sir John Julius Angerstein to found the National Gallery in 1824. Hogarth’s The Painter and his Pug, and his celebrated series Marriage A-la Mode also formed part of the original purchase. As a living artist, Wilkie’s inclusion meant contemporary art was included from the outset in the National Gallery Collection. Hogarth’s The Painter and his Pug and this work by Wilkie were both transferred to the Tate Gallery, Millbank, during the twentieth century.

Title:: Sir George Beaumont
Object name(s):: Picture; British
Brief description:: Sir George Beaumont (1753--1827), the National Gallery's first great benefactor, is portrayed here at the age of 50. He is dressed in black with a glimpse of white waistcoat showing above a white stock against a plain crimson background. The restricted colour palette adds to the portrait's drama.Beaumont built up a relatively small but well-chosen collection of paintings, chiefly by Italian, French and Dutch masters and was instrumental in the foundation of the National Gallery. He told the government that if they bought the collection of Sir John Julius Angerstein, he would donate 16 paintings from his own collection 'whenever the Gallery about to be erected is ready to receive them'. In 1824, the National Gallery opened to the public and in 1826 Beaumont's paintings hung there with Angerstein's.Hoppner painted this portrait in 1803 and exhibited it at the Royal Academy in 1809, the last year of his life.

Title:: Moonlight: The Bathers
Object name(s):: Picture; French
Brief description:: Two naked children appear to be bathing in a pool beneath a dark tree set against a cloudy, moonlit sky. A third child, who is clothed, sits on the bank near a patch of red that may be a fire.It is likely that this picture was painted by a late nineteenth-century imitator of Theodore Rousseau and not by Rousseau himself. Some features of the painting -- for example, the multi-directional brushwork of the sky and the delicate brushwork of the trees in background on the left -- do recall landscapes painted by Rousseau. However, his landscapes are usually deserted. When he does include people, they never have the prominence of the three bathers we see here.Unlike the lively confident brushwork of the background, the children themselves are crudely painted, and lines and dabs of thick dark paint have been used to add detail to their faces and clothing.

Title:: West Entrance Sculptures
Object name(s):: Sculpture; British
Brief description:: The National Gallery’s West Entrance is surmounted with a figure of Victory, framed by another full-length, draped female figure in each of the niches to left and right. As this pair of flanking figures do not carry any attributes, it is hard to identify who they represent. All three statues are the work of the British neoclassical sculptor Edward Hodges Baily. They were not made for the National Gallery, but were commissioned by King George IV for other structural projects in central London - in the case of the Victory figure, for the Marble Arch, a monument intended to celebrate Britain’s defeat of the French in the Napoleonic Wars.

Title:: Honoré Daumier
Object name(s):: Picture; French
Brief description:: Portraits by Daubigny are quite rare, as he was primarily a landscape painter who was closely associated with the Barbizon group. He and Daumier, who was an artist, printmaker and caricaturist, had been friends since meeting in Paris in the 1840s. This portrait may have been painted between 1867 and 1868 when Daumier, then approaching his sixties, was staying with Daubigny in his new house at Auvers-sur-Oise -- for which Daumier painted Don Quixote and the Dead Mule (Musée d’Orsay, Paris).The portrait has been rapidly and thinly painted, especially the background. Emerging from the surrounding darkness, the face, seemingly preoccupied with thought, is painted more thickly and broadly with emphatic brushstrokes. These can also be seen in the scribbled strokes of white that form the collar and which spiral down the coat front. This technique, including the use of dark outlining strokes, particularly around the eyes and mouth, recalls Daumier’s own painting style.

Title:: A Girl feeding a Bird in a Cage
Object name(s):: Picture; Dutch
Brief description:: This small painting on wood was painted in the same year as A Girl Seated outside a House, also in the National Gallery’s collection. The two paintings have several common features. These include a young girl (probably the same model) wearing jewellery, seen in profile on the right of the picture, a town with a church spire and even sunflowers in almost identical positions.Maris reused many of these elements in another painting, Girl Knitting on a Balcony, Montmartre (Gemeentemuseum, The Hague). Painted two years later in 1869, this larger picture, showing the girl full length, also includes a caged bird.Although Maris belonged to The Hague School of realist painters, it is tempting to see a symbolic aspect to the image of a caged bird (such as loss of freedom) or perhaps a reference to eighteenth-century portraits of girls with birds by French artists such as Greuze.

Title:: Victory
Object name(s):: Sculpture; British
Brief description:: This Victory, along with the female figures to its left and right, is the work of the British neoclassical sculptor, Edward Hodges Baily. Together with another five similar figures, they adorn the façade of the National Gallery.In 1826, Baily received a large order for sculpture, including four statues of ‘Victories’, for Marble Arch, which was to be erected in celebration of Britain’s defeat of the French in the Napoleonic Wars. Although Baily completed his commission, not all of his work was used as originally intended; some parts ended up adorning other government buildings. During the construction of the National Gallery, its architect, William Wilkins, was forced in a cost-cutting exercise to recycle masonry and statuary from other projects. This explains the presence above the West Entrance of this statue personifying Victory, accompanied by two female figures, even though all three pieces were initially created for the Marble Arch commission.

Title:: Lilac
Object name(s):: Picture; German
Brief description:: Five or six stems of lilac in a tall glass vase are set against a two-tone neutral grey background. Flower still lifes enjoyed enormous success in the late nineteenth century, with artists like Henri Fantin-Latour becoming wealthy on their pictures of cut flowers in vases. Such images were admired for their truth to nature and sense of fleeting beauty. Scholderer’s composition, although not his choice of flowers, is similar to Fantin-Latour’s Roses, painted in England in 1864 and on loan to the National Gallery from Tate. Fantin-Latour’s flower paintings helped to make his reputation in Britain and were highly sought-after by British collectors.Scholderer was a successful German painter of portraits and still lifes, also working in London from 1871 to 1899, and this spray of lilacs shows off his considerable skill. His Portrait of the Artist's Wife is also in the National Gallery's collection.

Title:: Still Life with Bottle, Glass and Loaf
Object name(s):: Picture; French
Brief description:: When this small still life was given to the National Gallery in 1888, it was believed to have been painted by Chardin. However, within 20 years there were already doubts about its authenticity.For a while it was thought that François Bonvin, or one of his contemporaries, had painted the picture, as there had been a revival of interest in Chardin among French artists during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. However, this attribution has also been rejected. Technical examination of the earlier layers of paint indicates that the painting was most likely begun in the eighteenth century, although it may have been completed in the nineteenth century.As the style, the handling of the paint and the signature are not consistent with confirmed works by Chardin, the painting is now judged to be a skilful pastiche by a sophisticated imitator.

Title:: Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough
Object name(s):: Sculpture; British
Brief description:: Dated 1836, this is a replica of the marble bust of Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough (1760--1838), commissioned in 1819 by the sitter's father-in-law, Sir Abraham Hume. The original was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820 and is now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Who commissioned Chantrey to produce this replica and why remains a mystery, but it was paid for in 1842 by one of Lord Farnborough's nephews, by which point both Chantrey and Farnborough had died.Charles Long was a Tory politician and a promoter and patron of the arts, active on the 'Committee of Taste' and a founding governor of the British Institution and a Trustee of both the British Museum and the National Gallery. He was made Paymaster General and created baron on his retirement in 1826. A notable connoisseur and collector himself, he was also art adviser to George IV and known as 'the spectacles of the King'.

Title:: The Miracle of Saint Mark
Object name(s):: Picture; Italian
Brief description:: A legend about Saint Mark tells how the servant of a knight of Provence disobeyed his master's command that he was not to venerate the relics of Saint Mark, and was ordered to be stretched on the rack and have his legs broken. He lies naked on the ground surrounded by his torturers and a crowd of onlookers. Saint Mark, clutching his Gospel, swoops headfirst into the scene from above and miraculously causes the torturers' hammers and axes to break against the servant's body.This picture is a much smaller copy of Jacopo Tintoretto's The Miracle of Saint Mark, painted for the Scuola Grande di San Marco (Confraternity of Saint Mark) in Venice in 1547/8. Analysis of the pigments shows that it cannot have been painted earlier than the eighteenth century, and was probably painted later. It is likely to be the work of a talented amateur painter, possibly its first recorded owner, Blanche Lindsay (1844--1912), who bequeathed it to the National Gallery in her will.
