Description
Room 32 of the National Gallery, renamed the Julia and Hans Rausing room, on reopening in July 2020 after refurbishment.Room 32 ââ¬â the largest and one of the most visited rooms of the National Gallery displaying 17th-century Italian paintings by artists including Caravaggio, Artemisia and Orazio Gentileschi, Guido Reni and Guercino ââ¬â will reopen with an enriched rehang in July 2020 after a 21-month refurbishment project. The paintings that form part of the Italian Baroque collection have been reinstated to great effect. Their dynamic compositions, dramatic lighting, vivid use of colour and intense expression of emotion are all characteristics of the Baroque. Many of the paintings in the room were commissioned to adorn the palaces of wealthy patrons in Rome, Florence, Bologna, Naples and Genoa.
