Thanks to the interest in art displayed by the Irish at the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1853, it was decided to build a permanent art gallery. The building was completed in 1864. The National Gallery had the misfortune of not being founded by having a collection, so in its early years it had no more than 125 paintings. However, over time more jobs were acquired.

Masters like Fran Angelico, Mantegna, Caravaggio and Tiziano are present. From the French school, it has classicist works by Claude, Vouet and Poussin.
