Summary
In the Henry Cole Wing we encounter one of London’s hidden gems, a little-known collection of paintings including works by Rembrandt, Louis Le Nain, Delacroix, Ingres, Courbet, Millet, and Degas. British artists represented include William Blake, Turner, Landseer, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Burne-Jones. We also find the finest collection of Constable’s outdoor oil sketches.
