Step into the stories behind the masterpieces with acaptivating 90-minute guided tour of the National Gallery, London.
Join us for an intimate exploration of the National Gallery, via five remarkable paintings. Together, we’ll uncover the brilliance and mystery of Holbein’s The Ambassadors, admire the quiet beauty of Vermeer’s Girl at a Virginal, and explore the world of Gainsborough’s Mr and Mrs Andrews. We’ll also encounter the powerful presence of Saint Catherine by Artemisia Gentileschi, among other carefully selected highlights.
This private tour with Lisa Bamford goes beyond the canvas—discover the lives of the artists, the techniques that defined their craft, and the fascinating stories hidden within each work. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious, this experience offers fresh insight and engaging discussion in an inspiring setting. Lisa is an art history lecture at the Rothsay Education Centre in Bedford and recently retired as Head of Art from Kimbolton School.
Perfect for small groups, curious minds, and anyone looking to see these iconic works in a new light. This will be insightful, engaging, and thought-provoking tour.
Come and see the National Gallery as you’ve never seen it before.
