The Courtauld works to advance how we see and understand the visual arts, as an internationally-renowned centre for the teaching, research of art history and a major public gallery. Founded in the 1930s, the organisation has been at the forefront of developing the study of art ever since.
The Courtauld cares for one of the greatest art collections in the UK, displayed at The Courtauld Gallery in Somerset House, central London. Academically, The Courtauld faculty is the largest community of art historians and conservators in the UK, and offers a range of degree programmes in the History of Art, curating and the conservation of easel and wall paintings.
The Courtauld Gallery is currently closed and will reopen in 2021 - the first stage an ambitious transformation programme that will make The Courtauld’s world-class artworks, research and teaching accessible to even more people.

Please sort out your Utube sound / microphone it really is appalling. Thanks
Go to the Tretyakova galleries or the Hermitage, they will really blow your mind!
Brilliant! I love cake...and art...mostly cake.
But you can have a cake at home. Don't you know how to bake😂
legend
Whoo is legend? Bill or Courtauld's art😁
He has that ability, which all British actors have, to act in dramatic and comedic works with the same level of excellence.
Can we have more Bill presenting please. Just anything. And there's a strong chance you will bump into Bill, as he's often out and about. I saw him once sitting outside a cafe in central London, not hidden away but relaxing there out the front of a cafe. Gave me a nice friendly smile. I will be visiting the Courtauld, because of Bill.
Comments turned off on the Collage video so I’m here. I’m surprised we’re sticking with the myth that collage sprang out of nowhere in the early 20th century. What about the Victorian women who were collaging like crazy in the 1860/70s? They’re hard to miss - there are thousands of examples.
That's a masterpiece!
Love Bill Nighy here, and the Courtauld looks gorgeous - but the music is too loud! (And that's coming from a musician/composer!!!) 😂
Love, love this man
How wonderful! Now on my bucket list. Thank you Bill! 😊
Reminds menof the doctor who scene.
me too!
❤❤🎉🎉 art stays with u
In a world where we look less and less at more and more. He is a sanctuary of vision and process.
Fabulous, should have been at least an hour long
OK I'm going just for the cake.
I'm grateful to Mr Night for showing us this gallery. It's the only way I will ever be able to catch a glimpse of beautiful are Work from centuries past. So much in my life I've Missed. Too late to travel. Thank you. 🇺🇲🙏🇬🇧
I love these works that look so simple at a glance, "it's just a barmaid at a bar" until an expert points out these little details that make you go "ahhhhhh". Nice vídeo!
Somerset House is that where they used to house the birth and marriage certificates?
Yes.
@@splodge5714 Thank you.
Thanks, Bill
Hi👋👋😊😊
Brilliant and Beautiful!!!!
A wonderful advertisement for the gallery by a true English gentleman. So enjoyable. I will definitely make time to visit the next time I am in London.
That staircase is a work of art
The blue 🔵 is amazing
The impeccably dressed elegant Bill Nighy walking up that exquisite staircase took my breath away ! Poetry in motion
Forgive my ignorance but would anyone be kind enough to enlighten me as to the music composer and piece. My dearly departed father used to play this on the record player on a Sunday after a round of golf. It brings back fond memories.
Edvard Grieg - Anitra's Dance
@@ballskinThank you so much for your kind response. I shall enjoy this very much.
Bill is such a treasure!
Bill Nighy….my man
How much is the entrance fee for the Courtauld? Anyone know? (Some of my favorite paintings are there, so I am sure it’s worth it)
£10.
No Women painters??? As usual
And lovely scones
What is wrong with his hands?
I was delighted to find this astonishing work in the gallery when I last visited.
Islamic metalwork! 😂 Is anything in their musuems specifically British?
Yup, it's just simpletons don't like to pay attention to British history.
🥱
Nighy could talk the phonebook and it would be fascinating 😅
you don't get a drier sense of humour than Bill's. Superb!
I would walk on burning coals if Mr Nighy suggests I do.
The incomparable Bill Nighy - more than a national treasure 😻
ABSOLUTELY!❤️
Im heanding there when I can, Thanks
We know Bill Nighy really loves the Modigliani in the corner.
I saw the fabulous Bill Nighy in a bookshop nine years ago and am still starstruck. Might visit the Courtauld Gallery just to honour him.
Hello! This was not a video about Bill Nighy! These paintings were a direct rejection of the classical style. They are rough, sometimes I’ll conceived. Other times applications seemed rough and amateurish. It these artists did not represent the “ ideal”. They were interpreting life as they saw it, not as an academic representation. It was a time of daring exploration. Mr. Nighy alert us to them but never delves into their creations nor their creators. Most of us. Art lovers know about these painters and the works. Sadly this was an advert for the museum. Did he state where the Courtald is. What city?
The Courtald gallery had been closed 3 years for redevelopment. A wonderful 3 minute ad from Mr Nighy. It's in Somerset House, London.
Cheers
I took my husband there some years back when we were in the UK. I knew what a fabulous great awaited us and wasn’t at all disappointed.
Sold. Subscribed! No cake needed. :)
I like this man's work and his raw honesty about his work and himself.
Great studio the dream for any struggling painter 🎨
Bill, my legs are tired. Let’s go for a leisurely caf and afterwards a long dawdle in a used book shop.
I’m more a Wallace man myself. They got Rembrandts and Canalettos. An it’s free
I love the Wallace collection, visit regularly. And love the Courtauld but less frequent.😊
I can still hear Bill saying, "Let's get p----- and watch p---" from "Love, Actually." Beautiful gallery. Now on my "must-see" list for September '24.
I greatly enjoyed his pleasure in the art. Could he do more, please?
