Guildhall Art gallery and Roman Amphitheater in London

The Guildhall Art Gallery ⇒ is free to enter and is right beside Guildhall ⇐ . Beneath are the remains of a Roman Amphitheater (AD 70) made more atmospheric by illuminated competitors. The gallery houses a moderate size collection of quite impressive art including some pre-Raphaelite works.

Lord Mayor Sir Francis Wyatt Truscot by Charles Bell Birch
.

The Wounded Cavalier by William Shakespeare Burton
.

La Ghirlandata by Dante Gabriel Rossetti
.

Fair St George by John Gilbert
.

The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar (painted) by John Singleton Copley
The painting is so large that it occupies two floors. I’m sure that’s Stephen Fry on the horse.

Demolition of London Bridge by J.W.S
.

Music Lesson by Frederic Leighton
.

Ninth of November by William Logsdail
.

The Woodmans Daughter by John Everett Millais
Inspired by a tragic poem with the same title by Coventry Patmore.

Thank you. The artwork was surprisingly good for a modest size of gallery. 🙂
