The National Gallery in London is a tour de force when it comes to housing some really good art. From Caravaggio to Velasquez, from Gainsborough to Turner -- masterpieces by master artists make for a helluva an afternoon in London. I remember I searched out the Arnolfini portrait by van Eyck as well as Delaroche's Lady Jane Grey -- two marvelous paintings surround by other amazing works of art. In my trip to the National Gallery back in February, I remember strolling through the galleries really in awe of all of the amazing paintings I recalled that I had studied as an undergrad. The significance of so many wonderful pieces of art and the cultural weight was so wonderfully impressive and also riveting.
