Presented in a beautiful gift format, this engaging book aims to
introduce to a general audience the National Trust's vast
collection of paintings through a selection of 100 important
examples from the 14th to the 20th centuries. Paintings displayed
in properties now cared for by the National Trust across England,
Wales and Northern Ireland amount to one of the finest collections
of historic fine art in the world. Indeed, many National Trust
houses should perhaps be considered miniature 'National Galleries'
for their counties as they display works by some of the most
renowned European artists of all time including Titian, El Greco,
Holbein, Rubens, van Dyck, Rembrandt, Velazquez, Gainsborough,
Reynolds, Canaletto, Hogarth, Stubbs, Angelica Kauffman, Edward
Burne-Jones, James Tissot, Max Ernst, Vanessa Bell, Barbara
Hepworth and Stanley Spencer, to name but a few. Selected by
National Trust curators from over 13,000 works, the 100 paintings
showcased in this book are arranged chronologically, each
accompanied by an illuminating, easy-to-read caption. The book ends
with a handy glossary of terms and a list of National Trust
properties that house important paintings.
