<p>William Hogarth's iconic self-portrait, The Painter and his Pug, was completed in 1745, though work on it began a decade earlier, with X-rays revealing he initially depicted himself in a more formal coat and wig before switching to the informal cap and attire seen today. <br />
<br />
The work functions as a manifesto for his artistic identity, showing his face as an oval canvas resting on volumes of his literary inspirations: Shakespeare, Swift, and Milton. In the foreground is his palette bearing the serpentine "Line of Beauty," the fundamental principle of his aesthetic theory, The Analysis of Beauty. The presence of his beloved pug, Trump, is thought to allude to Hogarth’s own notoriously pugnacious and determined nature. <br />
<br />
The painting was a foundational purchase for the nation, acquired from the collection of John Julius Angerstein in 1824 to establish the National Gallery. However, as the National Gallery later focused primarily on foreign art, the painting was eventually transferred to the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) in the 20th century, where it remains a celebrated icon of British art.</p>

<p>Paul Delaroche's monumental history painting, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey, was completed in 1833 and premiered to great acclaim at the Paris Salon of 1834, appealing to the 19th-century public's taste for dramatic, intensely detailed historical scenes. <br />
<br />
The work depicts the moments before the execution of the "Nine Days' Queen," Lady Jane Grey, in 1554, showing her blindfolded and being guided to the execution block by the Lieutenant of the Tower, dramatically contrasting her innocence (symbolised by her white dress) with the sombre, theatrical setting. <br />
<br />
The painting was originally purchased by the Russian nobleman Anatoly Nikolaievich Demidov. It was later bequeathed to the National Gallery, London, in 1902 by the Second Lord Cheylesmore, but it went out of critical fashion and was placed in storage, where it was subsequently presumed lost or destroyed following a basement flood at the Tate Gallery in 1928. It was dramatically rediscovered, intact and rolled up, in 1973, restored, and put back on display at the National Gallery in 1975, immediately regaining its status as one of the museum's most popular works.</p>

<p>Canaletto’s monumental canvas, Venice: The Basin of San Marco on Ascension Day (c. 1740), captures the ultimate Venetian civic spectacle: the "Sposalizio del Mare" (Wedding of the Sea) ceremony. This annual event, held on Ascension Day, featured the Doge aboard the gilded state barge, the Bucintoro, casting a blessed ring into the water to symbolise Venice's dominion over the Adriatic. The painting, which formed a pair with A Regatta on the Grand Canal, was executed during the peak of Canaletto's career when he was producing large, spectacular vedute (views) almost exclusively for wealthy British Grand Tourists. The work remained in private hands, specifically in the collection of the Duke of Leeds, before being generously bequeathed to the National Gallery, London, by Lord Revelstoke in 1929, where it serves as a stunning record of the Republic's former splendour and ceremony.</p>

<p>Caravaggio's early painting, Boy Bitten by a Lizard, exists in two known versions, both painted around 1593–1594 during the artist's initial years in Rome and showcasing his developing interest in vivid, emotional realism. <br />
<br />
The work captures a moment of sharp, immediate pain and surprise, likely painted from life with a model, a signature practice of the young Caravaggio. <br />
<br />
The subject, a beautifully rendered youth reacting to the hidden lizard's bite while holding fruit and flowers, is thought to be an allegorical memento mori or a warning about unexpected dangers in life, though its precise meaning remains debated. <br />
<br />
One version of the painting currently resides in the Fondazione Roberto Longhi in Florence, while the other, considered the prime version by many scholars, was purchased by the National Gallery, London, in 1986 from a private collection, significantly enhancing the Gallery's representation of the artist's formative period.</p>

<p>Canaletto's early masterpiece, The Stonemason's Yard (c. 1725), is considered one of his finest works, noted for its unusual focus on an informal, everyday scene in the Campo San Vidal, Venice, rather than the formal vedute favoured by tourists. <br />
<br />
The painting depicts a temporary stonemason's yard set up for the construction of the nearby church of San Vidal, capturing ordinary Venetian life with remarkable detail and rich colours typical of his style before the late 1720s. <br />
<br />
Though its initial Venetian patronage is uncertain, its history is deeply tied to the foundation of the National Gallery, as it was in the collection of the influential collector Sir George Beaumont by 1808. Beaumont donated the painting in 1823 to the British Museum to form the nucleus of the new national collection, and it officially passed to the National Gallery, London, in 1828, becoming one of the Gallery's earliest and most beloved acquisitions.</p>
