The foundation stone of the National Gallery was laid by Prince Albert in 1850 and William Henry Playfair's building opened to the public in 1859. The creation of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in 1882, then the Gallery of Modern Art in 1959, gradually expanded the institution. The three current ensembles - National, Modern and Portrait - preserve more than 120,000 works and cover approximately seven centuries. Monet explores the sea in the moonlight, Van Gogh transforms the orchard into a colorful vibration, Cézanne builds the Sainte-Victoire mountain and Degas observes the collective discipline of the dancers. The "National Galleries of Scotland" selection notably compares a seascape with light of the Moon - Claude Monet and Orchard in Flowers - Vincent van Gogh. His reading favors the atmosphere.
In Edinburgh, Scottish art shares the same rooms and the same questions as European masterpieces: identity, landscape, portrait and modernity answer each other.
