| | The representation of the British School is selective because of the existence of the Tate Gallery as a separate National Gallery of British art. | | | This is a fairly small number compared with some of the great Continental galleries based on former royal collections, but the National Gallery's paintings surpass those of any other gallery in giving a comprehensive view of the mainstream of European painting from Giotto to Cézanne. | | | This wing now houses the gallery's early paintings, up to about 1510. |

| | Portrait of Captain James Cook RN 1728-1779 |
| | The first two paintings are in the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the National Art Gallery, Wellington. | | | Webber's 1782 portrait is one of five known surviving portraits of Cook painted in the eighteenth century, and until it was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, it was the only one outside a major gallery or museum. | | | While landscape settings, too, were common in eighteenth century portraits, the stormy background in the Cook portrait has particular resonance, for it reminds us that he lived and died trying to disclose the potential of the sea and the sky to the wider world. |
