Angerstein Collection

The Angerstein Collection comprises 38 Old Master paintings that were bought by the British government from the collection of John Julius Angerstein after his death in 1823. They became the first works held by the National Gallery, London, on its foundation in 1824, and are now catalogued in its collection as NG1 to NG38. They were initially displayed at Angerstein's townhouse at 100 Pall Mall.

The collection includes seven works by Claude Lorrain, five by or after Correggio, four by Titian or his workshop, two by Sebastiano del Piombo and two by Gaspard Dughet, two attributed to Annibale Carracci or his circle and one to his cousin Ludovico Carracci, and one by each of the following: Andrea del Sarto, Damiano Mazza, Federico Barocci, Girolamo da Carpi, Guercino, Guido Reni, Bernardino Luini, Murillo, Parmigianino, Raphael, Rubens, Tintoretto, and Veronese. There is also one painting after Michelangelo, and a work of the Florentine School without an attribution.
