Room 45 at the National Gallery is plant heaven

|Art & Design, Painting, Places

Walking through the National Gallery in London is one of life’s great free pleasures. If you live in London that is. While there, what you tend to overhear most are people proclaiming, “now this one, is REALLY famous”. The truth is, they kind of all are, but some rooms definitely impress more. Room 45 is a case in point: containing a array of plant art rendered by some megastars of post-impressionism, it’s hard not to feel star-struck. Just thrilling.

    Thanks! There’s something very special about Paul Gauguin’s artistry: so much more than a vase of flowers, my pick of today’s bunch! Dr M
