Lonely Planet review for National Gallery of Ireland
The collection at the National Gallery is made up of nearly 13,000 paintings, sketches, prints and sculptures, including such highlights as Caravaggio’s The Taking of Christ and the impressive Beit Collection, made up of a huge inventory of masterpieces by Vermeer, Velázquez and Goya. Our favourites, however, are the paintings by William’s brother Jack B Yeats.
