We had walked past the Scottish National Gallery a couple dozen times over the years. Never again. It is a marvelous collection, mostly Scottish art, but also a very impressive assemblage of European art from the Middle Ages to the present. We stuck mostly to the European collection.
 |
| Beautiful Botticelli Virgin and Child |
 |
| Leonardo's Madonna of the Yarnwinder |
 |
| Younger Holbein's Allegories of Old and New Testaments |
 |
| Never miss a Cranach |
 |
| Vasari's Adoration of the Magi |
 |
| Claude's Apollo and Muses (but mostly the landscape) |
 |
| The Greek's Saviour of the World |
 |
Several Poussins, including a room full of large scenes
from the life of Jesus; here, something utterly unique: a
Last Supper where they're all on triclinia, Roman-style; not
very likely, I'd guess, but then Poussin spent nearly all his
artistic life in Rome, painting classical subjects |
 |
| Rubens' Herod's Feast |
 |
Vermeer, Christ in the House of Mary and
Martha |
 |
| Steen's School for Girls and Boys |
 |
| Rembrandt's Not a Self-Portrait |
 |
| A matrimonial pair of Hals (male not shown) |
 |
| Nice Watteau genre |
 |
| A couple of later Van Goghs |
 |
Frank Edwin Church's Niagara Falls; then,
on loan, a room of paintings from his world
travels |
