Museum Masterpieces: The National Gallery, London

The Story of the National Gallery, London

What sets this museum apart from the others is it showcases only European art from 1250 - 1900. We go behind the scenes to see how these artworks are preserved and exhibited.

This wing of the museum includes masterpieces from 1250 – 1500. We examine the medieval “ItaloByzantine” style used in depicting religious topics.

Early Renaissance Italian Painting

During the 15th century, we see a shift from medieval Gothic to a more naturalistic approach. We’ll see a more convincing perspective approach developing.

Netherlandish Portraits and Devotional Images

These artists were interested in nature, but pursued that aim through an optical illusion, rather than perspective.

Florence: Center of 15th Century Italian Art

We see the highpoint of Renaissance painting while examining artists such as Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo.

Why Do Our Residents Flock to the Art Studio?

We instructors love our resident painters. Some come with vision problems; others have poor hand coordination, tremors and advanced arthritis. But with each person who comes regularly, we’ve watched them improve as they paint. We firmly believe it has something to do with using their creativity while in the studio.

Research shows that painting is good for the health of older adults. It can improve manual dexterity, engage the mind and various arm muscles, offer opportunities for socializing and conversation and boost morale and self-esteem.

Two of our residents, Jo Hannon and Jackie Eakin, for example, have limited sight. With a little guidance, both are producing wonderful landscape paintings. Asked why they come to the Art Studio, Jo says she has always wanted to take watercolor classes but didn’t have the opportunity. She was looking for an outlet after her husband passed away. Jackie loves the camaraderie and laughter; she especially loves having us encourage her watercolor painting efforts.
