At Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery displays one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of European painting. For our study program we were provided with an annual audio tour pass. The audio tours are very helpful in teaching you about the artwork while you are physically standing in front of it. I have already done a couple of write-ups on pieces held in this museum for my humanities course. Having such availabilities to the real life pieces of art in comparison to the glossy textbook pictures makes you gain an appreciation for the famous works. All Western European painting are represented in the gallery from the artists of late medieval and Renaissance Italy to the French Impressionists. Famous artists that have their works displayed here are: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Van Eyck, Van Gough, Monet, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt to name a few.
