Unlike comparable museums in continental Europe, the National Gallery was not formed by nationalising an existing royal or princely art collection.
It came into being when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of John Julius Angerstein, an insurance broker and patron of the arts, in 1824. After that initial purchase the Gallery was shaped mainly by its early directors, notably Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which comprise two-thirds of the collection. The resulting collection is small in size, compared with many European national galleries
Rich Britain rested on the continent for years and years exported from Europe Italian and French paintings, porcelain, paintings, furniture and historical items of decorative art from antiquity and the Middle Ages to the present. Private collection joined the colonial export from India, Africa, America.
