National Gallery, London. The location of the National Gallery in London was supposed to be a crossover point between the rich people of West London and the poor of the East. The collection originally comprised of just 38 paintings which had been purchased from John Julius Angerstein in 1924.  Today it houses Western European paintings from 1250 to 1900. In the background of this picture is St Martins Church.
