Britain's Paintings by Neil Macgregor

Britain's Paintings by Neil Macgregor

Britain has one of the world's finest collections of Western art. From Raphael to Reynolds, from Botticeill to Bacon, amazing paintings grace the walls of our galleries, museums, historic houses and palaces. Neil MacGregor has set out to demonstrate the richness of the paintings that this country enjoys. The book is arranged by theme as opposed to chronology, identifying the major themes that have inspired artists all over the world for many centuries. There is also a richly illustrated chronology of artists complete with biographical notes and where they can be seen in Britain as well as a comprehensive guide to the Galleries of England, Scotland and Wales.

Neil MacGregor was the Director of the National Gallery for fifteen years. He is now the Director of the British Museum. He was educated at Oxford and in Paris and Edinburgh, and has written a number of books on architecture and art history. In 2001, he presented the major BBC series Seeing Salvation, which, over four programmes, examined images of Christ in western art
