Information for National Gallery

Exhibitions currently running:

Pompeo Batoni 1708 - 1787 - In his day, Pompeo Batoni was the most celebrated painter in Rome. For nearly half a century, Batoni recorded international travellers' visits to Italy on the Grand Tour in portraits that remain among the most memorable artistic accomplishments of the period. Equally gifted as a history painter, his religious and mythological works were eagerly acquired by the greatest patrons and collectors in Britain and mainland Europe. Until 18 May.

Alison Watt - Phantom - Alison Watt is the seventh Associate Artist at the National Gallery, and the youngest in the scheme’s history. Born in Greenock in 1965, Watt is a painter who studied at the Glasgow School of Art. In 2000 she became the youngest artist to be offered a solo exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Her recent work demonstrates a deep fascination with the possibilities of the suggestive power of fabric. A childhood trip to London to visit the National Gallery resulted in a lifelong admiration for Ingres’s 1856 portrait 'Madame Moitessier', a picture that has been a constant source of inspiration for her. Until 22 June.
