Van Gogh, Sunflowers

One of Van Gogh's most iconic works and a favorite at the National Gallery. The vibrant, intense yellow flowers, rendered with thick brushstrokes, showcase Van Gogh's unique emotion and vitality, making it an important symbol of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art.

Da Vinci, The Virgin of the Rocks

A classic religious painting by the Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci, depicting the Virgin Mary, Jesus, and John the Baptist with delicate light and shadow and soft gradations. The cave background and the figures' expressions in the painting are full of mystery, showcasing da Vinci's extraordinary artistic skill.

Rubens Mythological Triptych

This series of oil paintings, created by the 17th-century Flemish Baroque master Rubens, takes classical mythology and allegory as its themes. The figures in the paintings are dynamically posed, and the colors are magnificent, showcasing Rubens' vibrant and dramatic painting style. Such grand compositions and rich figural scenes are among the most representative characteristics of Baroque art and are also some of the most stunning classic works in the National Gallery.
