The Greatest Painting In Britain (Uh-huh)

What is Britons’ favorite painting? The National Gallery aims to find out in a poll. “Following on from the BBC’s attempts to celebrate the greatest Briton as well as discover our most beloved book, the gallery is launching a public poll to highlight The Greatest Painting in Britain. And just as with Great Britons and The Big Read, this exercise will end up telling us far more about who we think we are than the quality of our aesthetic sensibility.”
