Both these galleries crown Trafalgar Square, in the heart of London.
The National Gallery offers a collection of over 2400 paintings from the mid-twelfth to the late eighteenth century, at the dawn of the modern period, covering all styles and movements - Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, Rococo, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Furthermore the collection is arranged by styles within each movement - religious, portraiture, historic, landscape, still life, etc.
The National Portrait Gallery as the name suggests covers only portraiture, in various mediums: painting, sculpture and photograph. The collection is ideal for learning about the history of Britain through the lives of notable individuals, including monarchs, scientists, authors, thinkers, political leaders, artists and musicians.
