John Singer Sargent quit portrait painting at the peak of his success. Tired of painting for wealthy clients, he walked away in his 50s to travel the world and paint the landscapes he loved. Quitting gave him the freedom to do his best work.

Thank you billie eilish for expertly demonstrating the art of side eye with the help of “Portrait of a Lady” and a few other famous works 👀

In case you need some flowers today 🫲

This breathtaking view of Paris was painted by Auguste Renoir in 1872. And it represents a pivotal moment in art history.

Auguste Renoir painted this stunning view of Paris in 1872—a bold break from tradition.

You deserve some flowers today, especially on the first day of spring 🫱

When this painting was revealed in 1778, it shocked the British public.

This transformation is actually unreal 😭 Artist Jo Steel reimagined Rembrandt by literally becoming him, turning into the artist’s self-portrait through makeup, costume design, and hand-painted sets. #OpenCall

You deserve flowers today. So we’re whisking you away to Claude Monet’s garden. 🌻

A work of art in our collection, Degas’s original “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen,” was attacked with paint today. It was protected in a case and we are evaluating it now. We unequivocally denounce this behavior and will share information as it emerges. Message from our director:

The National Gallery has been nominated for FIVE Webby Awards - aka the Oscars of the Internet - for our social media and website! 🏆✨ Now we need the squad. Cast your vote in the People’s Voice Award categories below and help us bring one home ⬇️

Our curators are lowkey rizzlers. So they teamed up with our intern to make this video.

If you didn’t have to worry about money or approval, how would you spend your time? American painter John Singer Sargent found his answer in his 50s.

Just in case you need some flowers today 🫱

Our curators said these girlies are YOKED. Chat, pause your Heated Rivalry rewatch and peep this rivalry instead. 👀 And then secure a $3,000 bag for your aura points 💸 Join the Open Call ➡️

At first glance, this painting by Mary Cassatt just looks a sweet moment between a mother and child. But look closer...

This isn’t just a painting—it’s a snapshot of love caught in the wind. Monet’s "Woman with a Parasol" (1875) shows his wife Camille and son Jean on a breezy day, a moment so alive, he painted it fast to hold on forever.
