Angerstein Collection
The Angerstein Collection comprises 38 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, including the works now catalogued in its collection as NG1, NG2 and NG3, and others up to NG122. They were initially displayed at Angerstein's townhouse at 100 Pall Mall. Other early works acquired by the National Gallery include 16 paintings donated by Sir George Beaumont, 7th Baronet in 1826, and a bequest of 35 paintings by the Reverend William Holwell Carr by 1831.
