The National Gallery in London houses a significant collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks, primarily from French artists active in the late 19th century. These include core Impressionists like Monet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Morisot, and Manet (often considered a precursor), as well as Post-Impressionists like Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat, and Toulouse-Lautrec. The collection features around 80 works in total, though not all are always on display due to rotations, loans, or conservation. All are located in the main building on Trafalgar Square, on Level 2 (the primary exhibition floor), in Rooms 41–46. These rooms are thematically organized around Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, situated in the eastern section of the building.
