This guide to the National Gallery of London provided by Homan Potterton (author) provides in his entertaining, instructive text is at once a concentrated history of European painting and a room-to-room commentary on the Gallery's own finest examples of it. He touches, too, on how the Collection has been build up, until today it can be claimed to be possibly the most sheerly balanced and representative of all national collections of European painting. Something of the secret of its strength lies in the fact that it remains comparatively small.
