National Gallery of Scotland
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
The National Gallery of Scotland, also known as the Scottish National Gallery, is Scotland's national art gallery, located on the Mound in central Edinburgh between Princes Street Gardens. Its neoclassical building was designed by the architect William Henry Playfair and opened to the public in 1859. It houses the national collection of fine art, spanning early Renaissance to late nineteenth-century European painting as well as Scottish art.
Among its Old Master holdings is Vermeer's Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, an unusually large early religious work by the artist, alongside paintings by Titian, Raphael, Rembrandt and others.
