Notable Paintings at The National Gallery

Here are some paintings I especially enjoyed at The National Gallery:

• A Knight with his Jousting Helmet, Giovanni Battista Moroni
• An Iron Forge, Joseph Wright 'of Derby' (What mastery over light!)
• The Ambassadors, Hans Holbein the Younger (Look closely at all the objects)
• The Annunciation, Carlo Crivelli (I've never seen so much detail in a painting - you really need to get up close to appreciate this one - although I'd say the scene is fictional)
