A scenic walk through European landscapes

Journey through the National Gallery’s stunning European landscapes.

Curators Chiara di Stefano and Sarah Herring lead this fascinating online tour. We will visit our room of lively oil sketches, the French artists who captured London in a time of change, and many other artists who captured the hills, lakes and mountains of Europe as we visit works by George Seurat, Ferdinand Holder, Claude Monet and more.

This tour celebrates the evolution of landscape painting and the artists who made us see the world anew.
