An exhibition of paintings once owned by painters, inspired by works in the National Gallery Collection, "Painter's Paintings" opens today at the National Gallery.
Over 80 works, all once in the possession of artists, paintings which they lived with and were inspired by, are displayed through 8 case studies of artists. Van Dyck's collection of Titian, Degas' collection of Manet, Ingres and Delacroix and Matisse's collection of Cezanne, Gauguin and Picasso, are just 3 examples.
These collections offer insight into the artists private worlds. Photographs of the artists houses with the paintings hanging on their walls enhance this clever exhibition of great art seen through the eyes of great artists.
Painter's Paintings National Gallery London from 23rd June to 4th September 2016
