The Courtauld’s much-loved permanent collection includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and decorative arts ranging from the Renaissance through to the 20th century.

The Courtauld Gallery, located in the magnificent hisorical setting of Somerset House in central London, is renowned for its remarkable group of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including the world-famous A Bar at the Folies Bergère by Édouard Manet, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear by Vincent van Gogh and the most significant collection of works by Cézanne in the UK. These masterpieces are presented in the Courtauld Gallery’s spectacular LVMH Great Room, one of the largest spaces in Somerset House, alongside works by artists including Degas, Monet, Renoir, Seurat and more.

During your visit, discover highlights from the Courtauld’s important collection of Medieval and Early Renaissance paintings and decorative arts, 20th-century art and the pioneering Bloomsbury Group.

On the second floor of the Gallery, you will find the elegant Blavatnik Fine Rooms; highlights include Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder, The Family of Jan Bruegel the Elder and The Descent From The Cross by Peter Paul Rubens, The Trinity with Saints altarpiece by Sandro Botticelli, and Landscape with a flight into Egypt by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

The Ruddock Family Gallery is dedicated to the Courtauld’s important collection of Medieval and Early Renaissance paintings and decorative arts. Rooms devoted to 20th century art and the Bloomsbury Group also showcase lesser-known areas of the collection through rotating displays.

The Courtauld’s collection spans over 33,000 objects, and the permanent collection on display within the Gallery is under continuous review. Please note, this means that some collection artworks may not be on display during the time of your visit.
