Riding emphasizes the need for greater public awareness of the National Gallery's impressive research archive, aiming to broaden its accessibility to scholars and students.
The gallery's archive not only chronicles a two-century history of the institution but also serves as a valuable resource for studying the evolution of art collection and creation.
Finaldi highlights that the gallery's ability to adapt to challenges, like during WWII, offers invaluable lessons regarding resilience and visionary leadership in the arts.
With plans for a new research center, Riding believes the gallery can transform into a key institution for studying Old Master paintings in the UK.
