The Wallace Collection

The Wallace Collection

The Wallace Collection is a national museum in the heart of London with an internationally outstanding collection of unsurpassed masterpieces of paintings, sculpture, furniture, arms and armour and porcelain. It is free and open daily.

Built over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, it is one of the finest and most celebrated collections in the world.

So that it could be kept together and enjoyed by generations of visitors, the collection was given to the British Nation in 1897. It was an astonishing bequest and one of the greatest gifts of art works ever to be transferred into public ownership.

Today, our job is to maintain, research, and inspire the public to love and understand the Collection.

    The first bust we see fails the speakers' own 'test' of slavery, and doesn't show them in chains. This is self contradictory, and perhaps generalised, generic statements about all European views of Africans don't standup. As they're Italian, what empire are they allegedly representing - the Italians didn't have a colonial empire, not were they involved in the slave trade.

    Maximilian's armour at 16:05 with the slick horizontal slit in the helmet has a distinct Robocop vibe about it. It looks so futuristic or maybe the creators of Robocop took unexpected inspiration in the artefacts of the past.

    can you adjust the color on the thumbnail or replace it with the correct colors as the artist intended? - this pic is currently and obviously far too yellow (pre-varnish restoration obviously) - just move the slider in a photo editor towards the cool and blue side, do it for the future inspiration of real artists out there! This inattention to detail suggests a sloppy editor who is not trained in how to see fine art - you can fix this if you really care about keeping the public interested in the best art out there, please.

    I love these works of art. Nobody today can quite capture what these masters' paintings did. The other thing, is these paintings had a suggestion hidden in them, the more you look the more you can't not see.

    Once I photoshopped away his hat, clothing and facial hair. I was shocked to see, without his facial hair, that his expression is actually sad. I think that's the secret of this fascinating portrait.

    This is excellent information. Just one critique: when you finish discussing a slide, please linger, pause, go silent, and allow the viewer to zero-in on what you are referencing within the slide and then allow us to contemplate what you have told us while we look at the slide.
