Curated Tour - National Gallery of Art with French Art Historian

Overview

Instead of wandering purposelessly in the National Gallery of Art, Tosca will lead you into an in-depth visit of the museum’s history and its masterpieces. You have heard of Raphael, Da Vinci, Titian, Rembrandt, Monet but do you really know their lives and why they are seen as geniuses? We’ll dive into the lives of the great masters as we wander the rooms of the NGA.
We’ll go from the only Da Vinci in America before seeing Monet’s “Japanese Footbridge” to witness the different styles and evolutions in art. You’ll be armed with the information and history that you’ll need to appreciate the works of art on display.

Art with Tosca offers tours of cultural institutions in Washington D.C and online lectures about art history. Tosca brings you an extensive knowledge about European Art history having studied and lived between Paris, London and Italy.

Great gift idea: a lot of my guests have received this tour as a gift - They loved it!

What To Expect

National Gallery of Art

Instead of wandering purposelessly in the National Gallery of Art, I will lead you into an in-depth visit of the museum’s history and its masterpieces by some of the world’s most acclaimed artists. For a better experience, tours are limited to 6 people. I bring you an extensive knowledge about European Art history having studied and lived between Paris, Italy and London (UK). You have heard of Raphael, Da Vinci, Rubens, Rembrandt, Monet, Degas etc but do you really know their lives and why they are geniuses? We’ll dive into the lives of the painters behind some of the world’s most famous paintings. If none of the following names ring a bell to you, we’ll make sure that they do by the end of the tour. We’ll go from Da Vinci’s “Portrait of Ginevra de’ Benci” before fast-forwarding to Monet’s “Japanese Footbridge” to witness the different styles and evolutions in art over the centuries.

I had a wonderful tour with Tosca. I indicated that I enjoyed Italian Renaissance art and she paid special attention to that. She gave information about the paintings and the artists as well. I found the stories about the artists so fascinating that I enjoyed the paintings even more. She made my visit to the National Gallery of Art and very enjoyable experience.

Tosca was an exceptional tour guide! I usually just visit museums and power through the works of art but having Tosca explain the pieces in detail and focus on the elements of the art that appealed to me was a real treat. For example, I was really excited to see the Italian Renaissance section and left beyond impressed by Tosca’s story-telling about the period! Having this experience really gave me a fresh view of art and I will definitely be going on this tour again with other friends!

I had a wonderful time wandering around the national gallery with Tosca. As someone who is not familiar with art history at all, I found that Tosca managed to make the visit really informative without overloading. Not only does she know her subject very well, but Tosca has the gift to make the visit alive and fun (visitors of the museum couldn’t help but listen too). And this, with the smile on her face! It would be a shame to visit the museum without listening to her insights. Can only recommend!
