The National Gallery of London is one of the top art gallery for European paintings in the world. Its collection covers all the major developments in European painting from its beginning all the way to the 19C. It also includes paintings from all the major European masters in its collection, from Van Eyck. Leonardo to the Impressionists. There are very few paintings available by the leading Italian and the Low Countries in the world. With the Louvre and the Uffizi of Florence, the National Gallery of London is in the first rank of European gallery. A visit to the National Gallery in London for an afternoon will give you good feel of what European painting is about.
Founded in 1824, the National Gallery is one of the youngest painting galleries of Europe. Unlike most other great European galleries, the core of the collection was not a royal or princely collections taken over by the state. The English Royal collection remains as a separate entity, although many of the royal paintings are on display in the National Gallery on loan. Its collection is renowned for what is probably the most balanced collection of painting in the world. Today the collection has only about two thousand paintings, less than half the number in the Louvre and about two third of the Hermitage collection in St Petersburg.
As the collection belongs to the nation, it is FREE to visit the National Gallery, London. It is opened to the general public and to all overseas visitors as well. It is a shrine for the achievement of humanity, a truly deserve the title a gallery for the world. In this slideshow I have selected six paintings by the best historical masterpieces from its collections. I would like to dedicate this presentation to anyone who help to make the entrance to the gallery free. It is not only a celebration of human achievement it also inclusive all men and enhance the enjoyment of the visit.

9. Eros: “I get in trouble for messing with some people's love lives …”
…
Eros brought by Peitho (Persuasion) to Venus,
as Anteros laughs at his being punished for having chosen the wrong target
Venus and the Punishment of Cupid. As the mischievous god of erotic love and lust,
there are several myths in which Cupid gets into trouble, thus plenty of reasons
for his mother to need to admonish or punish him.
Pompeian, Peintre pompéien

12. An infant with spectacular wings holding an arrow in his hand ...
The image we know of him and that we like, that of a naughty, chubby child.
He will most often be blindfolded, but the meaning given to this blindfold has never
ceased to fuel debate.
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
And therefore is Love said to be a child
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
As waggish boys in game themselves forswear,
So the boy Love is perjured everywhere.
William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

16. The divine spring garden ...

Cupid blindfolded, he shoots his arrows of love.
(Cupid's arrow is aimed at the middle Grace - Chastity;
the impact of love on chastity, leading to a marriage, features in many interpretations.)

Galatea, the sea-nymph, on a dolphin-drawn chariot,
sea-nymphs and Tritons - fantastic creatures, half man and half fish
and
the small boys with Cupid's bows and arrows who aim at the heart of the nymph
(During the Italian Renaissance, many artists began to include several Cupids
in a single painting.
Known initially as amorini, these figures eventually evolved into putti,
cherubic children found in many mythological and even biblical scenes of the period.)

23. Cupid: Oh ... I look totally creepy in this painting …
The remnant of a possibly mythological (nude) depiction – perhaps Venus,
the goddess of love.
The god of love Cupid, somewhat sinister looking with colorful iridescent plumage,
swings its arrow of love with such violence that the tip bursts into flames
with the other hand he has grasped a fur cloak, apparently from a female figure;
whether the woman is a naked Venus is impossible to say.
However, there is some evidence that it must have been an erotically provocative,
perhaps even daring, depiction.
And one will be allowed to assume that prudery was responsible for the destruction
of the picture and for the salvation of this morally harmless remnant.

27. Eros Stealing Honey:
"My mom was like: Why are you stealing that honeycomb?"
"And I was like: Why are you only wearing a hat?"
…
Two classical gods of love, standing naked amid a verdant landscape under a blue sky …
Venus is wearing only a hat of red and gold cloth decorated with a wide circle of ostrich
plumes, and two necklaces,
Cupid winged holding a honeycomb, he is being assailed by honeybees
(The work has been interpreted as an allegory of the pleasure and pains of love,
and possibly also a warning of the risks of venereal disease.)

30. A whole convention of winged infants
but
only one, at the lower right corner,
is armed with his bow and arrow, thus a true Cupid.
The others, who seem to be up to all sorts of mischief, are more properly
amorini, (singular amorino), Cupid’s helpers.
(They’re also termed putto (singular) and putti (plural), but however
cherubic they might appear, they remain distinct from cherubim,
which are sacred creatures derived from the Old Testament of the Bible,
and attend Christian saints, and others.)

36. An argument between Apollo and Cupid …
Apollo - overconfident after having killed the python with arrows - mocks
the little archer.
Cupid obtains his revenge and proves his superior power by enflaming the god to
love with a shot from his bow.
(Wanted for harassment and assault of Apollo: Subject is accused of shooting
a golden arrow (love) into Apollo's heart and a leaden arrow (indifference)
into the nymph Daphne's heart. Apollo fell madly in love with Daphne,
and Daphne wanted nothing to do with Apollo …)

39. It was, perhaps inevitably ...
Caravaggio who painted the most shocking Cupid of the modern era:
a homoerotic interpretation of the old saying ‘love conquers all’, or Amor Vincit Omnia.
In accordance with Virgil’s words: “Omnia vincit amor” (Love Conquers All, Eclogae 10.69),
the youthful God of earthly love, a smiling victor, triumphs over science, art, power and
fame.
The playfully precarious, provocative, importunate pose.
Earthly Love delights in deriding the highest moral and intellectual values of humanity,
along with our loftiest aspirations.

42. Caravaggio’s patron’s brother was a Cardinal, and was shocked
by Caravaggio’s work and his brother’s apparent delight in it.
The Cardinal commissioned Giovanni Baglione to paint a response ...
Divine Love interrupts a tryst between Cupid and the Devil,
who turns toward the viewer in anguished surprise revealing Caravaggio's likeness.

48. Cupid trapped in the destructive influence of Time,
he doesn’t seem afraid,
inner power is lighting from his eyes,
knowing that Love that he is symbolizing cannot be harmed ...
Love like an eternal thing, mover of every human being,
no matter towards whom or what we feel it.
