	National Gallery, London
		The representation of the British School is selective because of the existence of the Tate Gallery as a separate National Gallery of British art.
		This is a fairly small number compared with some of the great Continental galleries based on former royal collections, but the National Gallery's paintings surpass those of any other gallery in giving a comprehensive view of the mainstream of European painting from Giotto to Cézanne.
		Further bequests (including that of Sir George Beaumont) soon necessitated larger premises, and the present building in Trafalgar Square, designed by William Wilkins, was opened in 1838; the gallery shared the premises with the Royal Academy until 1869, by which time it had grown into one of the great collections of the world.

	ABC News: Caravaggio and London's National Gallery
		15, 2005 — Located in the center of London — with Trafalgar Square in its front yard — the National Gallery lets you tour Europe’s art without ever crossing the Channel.
		As a British institution, the Gallery’s collection wouldn’t be complete without a good dose of stiff-upper-lip restraint, and John Constable’s “The Hay Wain” fits the bill — a depiction of British rural life complete with billowing clouds.
		While the Gallery is huge, it’s easier to negotiate the collection with the help of the museum’s audioguide tours (suggested £4 donation).

	Portrait of Captain James Cook RN 1728-1779
		The first two paintings are in the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the National Art Gallery, Wellington.
		Webber's 1782 portrait is one of five known surviving portraits of Cook painted in the eighteenth century, and until it was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, it was the only one outside a major gallery or museum.
		While landscape settings, too, were common in eighteenth century portraits, the stormy background in the Cook portrait has particular resonance, for it reminds us that he lived and died trying to disclose the potential of the sea and the sky to the wider world.
