The Art Gallery: Stories

The Art Gallery provides an exciting look at art throughout the ages, with reproductions of stunning works of art from the most ancient to the works of living artists. The central section focuses on ten great paintings, the stories behind them and the lives of the artists who painted them. Details are taken from the paintings and examined closely, bringing the painting to life for young people.

The Art Gallery gives young people a fascinating introduction to art history, encouraging them to look at works of art more closely, with an account of how familiar themes, such as Faces and Stories, have been treated by the world’s most famous artists.
