In this video I share with you my top 10 favorite paintings from the National Gallery London.

10. Paolo Veronese - The Adoration of the Kings
A ray of light illuminates Christ the Child held by Virgin Mary. In bright colors, with aristocratic elegance, the kings the angels, Joseph and the shepherds are in adoration. The stable is built in roman ruins, symbolizing the triumph of christianity over the pagans.

9. Velasquez - The toilet of Venus
Venus is reclining on a bed backing us, while she is looking in the mirror held by a Cupid the protector of love. Even if she is turned away we can see her face. The mirror shows the reflection, suggesting that she is observing herself. The composition mainly uses shades of red, white, and grey, which are used even in Venus's skin.

8. Jean Baptiste Camille Corot -The four times of the day -
Corot painted these four panels in a single week. representing different moments of the same day. Each scene traces the changing light in the sky, the golden glow of the Morning turns into the brightness of Noon, to the blue light of the Evening and finally to a starry Night.

7. Canaletto- The Basin of San Marco Ascension Day
This painting shows the annual festival that symbolize the marriage of Venice with the sea, which is taking place for more than 1000 years. The Dodge is leaving the palace. His golden gondola can ben seen in the crowd, he will go out in the sea and throw a gold ring in the Adriatic so that Venice will continue to dominate the trade market and be prosperous.

6. Paul Cezanne -The Grounds of the Chateau Noir
The chateau Noir was a rambling house set on extensive grounds, where the artist painted some of the finest landscape of his last years. In this dramatic view of the rocky ridge above the house entangled branches and foliage form a screen nearly obscuring the sky, A dab of orange placed at the center of the canvas lends vibrancy to the greens of the trees.

5. Michelangelo - The Manchester Madonna
You know you are one of the Masters when your unfinished work is shown in a museum as prestigious as this. This unfinished painting is one of Michelangelo’s works. The Virgin Mary is holding a book while Christ, portrayed here as a child, is pointing to a text. The angels on the right side are studying a scroll, likely given to them by John the Baptist.

4. Rembrandt - Belshazzar’s feast
Interrupting the kings party, a divine hand appeared and wrote on the wall a cryptic text that declared the end of Babylon. The king is scared, the guests are terrified, the gestures are uncontrolled, the wine is spilled on the tables. History tells us that on that same night Babylon fell to Media-Persia.

3. Vincent Van Gogh - Sunflowers
The painting was intended to decorate the room that was set aside for Gauguin at the "Yellow House. The built up texture of the sunflowers creates dimension from the full bloom in bright to melancholic. Color yellow is associated with hope enthusiasm and friendship. Van Gogh suggests that the flower are a symbol of gratitude.

2. Leonardo Da Vinci - The Virgin of the rocks
Christ child is on the right with an angel by his side, blessing his infant cousin John the baptist. John turns to Jesus folding his hands in prayer and holding a symbolic cross. The Virgin Mary is the image of beauty, surrounded by a ideal landscape. She connects the two children by holding the hand above her son in a protective gesture, while touching John’s shoulder.

1. Claude Monet - The Gare St-Lazare
This is one of the 12 series that Monet painted on the spot. Two steam trains are in the station while the passengers are going down. It is a perfect portrait of what the modern industrial era meant: a bright day with pure sunlight, clouds of steam, busy peoples going in and out, dynamic style in hues of gray.
