Superb exhibition

Most museums would struggle to bring together a collection of paintings of this calibre. Truly superb exhibition - I urge you to see it. Jeff Koons would wet himself if he could produce something like the Rosso Fiorentino in the show. It is really interesting to see these major Old Masters but in a modern context.

Excellent

A truly remarkable collection of Old Master paintings with artists ranging from Andrea del Sarto to Vouet and Van Dyke; all presented in a refreshing new and modern space. Located in the heart of London's Fine Arts District, I wholly recommend taking the time to visit if your in the area.

Museum quality show
by Therese Cooper 22.06.09 23:26
Went around the exhibition this afternoon. The Van Dyck is really impressive, as are the Florentine Renaissance paintings. It is a refreshing change to see such quality in a commercial gallery. I wish the papers would write about shows like this, rather than filling their pages with endless spiel about Tracey Emin et al.
