COURTESY OF LowCountryBookstore: This guide to the National Gallery
of London provided by Homan Potterton (author) provides in his
entertaining, instructive text is at once a concentrated history of
European painting and a room-to-room commentary on the Gallery's
own finest examples of it. He touches, too, on how the Collection
has been build up, until today it can be claimed to be possibly the
most sheerly balanced and representative of all national
collections of European painting. Something of the secret of its
strength lies in the fact that it remains comparatively small.
