The National Gallery
Last year Tiepolo's ceiling painting of Venus and Time cost the National Gallery over £400,000. A century ago a Botticelli portrait cost the Gallery £100. Finance is only one of the Gallery's problems: burglary and bad air are others.
This film shows the great master-pieces which make the Gallery the most comprehensive collection of western art in the world. It also looks behind the canvases: shows how the restorer works and the use the Gallery makes of such science.
