The National Gallery of Art is opposite the Aerospace Museum. It is divided into the West Hall and the East Hall. The West Hall is an antique Greek architecture. The East Hall is a modern-style triangle shape and is designed by I.M. Pei. The architectural styles of the two museums are very different, and the styles of the artworks on display are also different. I personally prefer the West Museum, which mainly focuses on classical art.
The south gate of the West Pavilion of the National Museum of Art is a neoclassical building with an ancient Greek architectural style. In Washington, almost all public and government buildings are classical designs. It is generally believed in Europe and the United States that only classical architecture can stand the test of time.
Central Rotunda Antique Roman ,000 Pantheon atrium is supported by 16 dark green Ionian stone pillars with a diameter of about 1.52 meters and a height of about 31 meters. The columns are from Italy and are processed and formed locally and shipped to Washington.

Leonardo da Vinci: "Ginevela Banci". Year of the work: 1474
Da Vinci is a genius scientist, inventor and painter of the Renaissance in Europe. Modern scholars call him "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance" and is an all-rounder in human history. His greatest achievement is painting.
Leonardo da Vinci is famous for painting portraits, and he only left more than a dozen oil paintings in his life. This "Ginevela Banci" is the " Mona Lisa " hidden in the Louvre in Paris and "Sesi" hidden in the Krakow Museum in Poland. Leah Galilani is also known as the three most famous portraits of women by Leonardo da Vinci, revealing three different emotions of women: faint sadness, wry smiles, and sad desire. She is regarded as the treasure of the National Gallery of Art, and is printed on the cover of the museum's promotional page.
The lower half of this work was cut due to the damage to the bottom, so the lower part of her arm can no longer be seen. Some art historians believe that if the lower part of its part was not cut, this work may be a shocking masterpiece like Mona Lisa.

Raphael ·Sanci: "Holy Mother of Alba". Year of the work: 1511
"
Raphael, a famous Italian painter, is also the youngest among the "High Three Heroes of the Renaissance " and represents the peak that Renaissance artists can reach. His works are noble, elegant, poetic scenes and characters, fully reflecting the order of tranquility, coordination, harmony, symmetry, and perfection and tranquility. Excellent works of the Renaissance are usually the embodiment of progressive ideas. The Virgin in this painting is no longer the image of a monarch sitting on the throne, but an ordinary mother sitting on the earth. This is Europe The important feature of the transformation of medieval super-secular art to civilian art.
The focus of the three characters on the picture is the cross; the expression of the baby Jesus is acceptance, while the baptist John and the Virgin seem to know the future fate of Jesus and die for mankind; the scriptures held by the Virgin imply the prophecy of the Jewish prophets about the birth of Jesus.
This masterpiece in art history is one of the paintings Mellon acquired from the collection leaked from the Winter Palace.

El Greco, a famous Spanish painter and a pioneer of Spanish painting. "Laocon" is Greco's most famous work and one of the world's one hundred famous paintings. In the work, the entire picture is shrouded in an illusory and pathological mysterious atmosphere.The colors reinforce the gloomy and terrifying moonlit night, and the characters wander like lonely souls in the wilderness. A bold and innovative work that breaks many of the established painting rules. This painting also reflects the artist's exploration and attempt to new artistic expression techniques after the perfect artistic peak of the Renaissance. The content of the
painting is based on the Greek mythological story "Raocon". The Greeks could not conquer the city of Troy for a long time, so they came up with a "Trojan Horse Scheme", hiding some Greek soldiers in the belly of the big Trojan horse, leaving the Trojan horse, and then pretending to retreat. Trojans After seeing the Greeks evacuate, they wanted to move the Trojans to the city as trophy. At this time, Raocon, the priest of Troy City, reminded the Trojans not to move the Trojans into the city, so as not to be fooled. This move violated Asina and the gods because Raocon tried to destroy the gods' plan to destroy Troy. So Asina sent two sea snakes to both Raocon and his two sons to death. The Trojans did not obey Raocon's advice and pulled the Trojan into the city and suffered a catastrophe.
