We went to the National Portrait Gallery to see the Irving Penn exhibition and ended up in the Tudor Gallery. It was such a lovely surprise. The paintings are absolutely exquisite. The detail, the colours, the amazing styling. Definitely worth a visit.

ReplyDeleteWe've reminded ourselves too! It was only by chance that we found ourselves in that part of the gallery. Now we plan to investigate further. Next time the National Gallery.
