What an interesting film! I love those personal drawings of family members! Those hands!!! I love the way they come to us across time. I think that's one of the special qualities of hand-drawn lines and drawings, that they are so intimate and 'present' because of that touch . Wonderful!
Wow! R.B.Wornum was a very unique intellectual, astute artist, writer, world traveler, etc! He was a knowledge seekers & he definitely was a man who left incredible impressions on the museums’ Artist Leaders in his era! What an impressive man! His work had major & profound impact in the artistic world! What an amazing life he had!! And his meticulous dairies are unbelievable in detail - how devoted he was to that as well!! He definitely knew what he was doing -- he was calculated in everything he did!!
There is always a Great Humanity behind public service and institutions. Sharing ones labours apolitically for the common good is truly the highest calling.
i imagine they wouldn't have actually had the run of the building, but, think what an experience it would be to have the entire National Gallery as your front parlour growing up.
What a wonderful and entertaining story story…. I cannot help but be so inspired and bubbling with a thought that I wish I could share with somebody in ability to do this….. but wouldn’t it be amazing if somebody took on this story with hope of captivating the next generation of Museum visitors and children and you could have a series of children’s books written from the perspective of one of the Warner children?…. What if they were a little artist exploring at night or maybe a private investigator solving mysteries of the museum?…. or there could be a series of stories based creeping through the museum at night through the perspective of the family Cat…..!!🐈🐈⬛💕
Hi Laurie, thank you for watching! Such a wonderful idea and, funnily enough, we have an app called The Keeper of Paintings where children can help our Keeper guard the treasures in the Gallery, alongside the Keeper's trusty cat sidekick, Claws Monet!

Thank you so much for a long video! All others are too short to explain things in depth properly. And what a peculiar story it is .. From Holland with ❤
His watercolour really has that famous painting's vibe. The stonemason's house idk I forgot the name, he is totally an artist deserves to have his own name.
Thank you. Would have enjoyed being shown where their rooms were, seeing the view from their windows, and how those rooms look today. The sound quality needs bit of help too. We love the National Gallery. It's wonderful to have it on YT. Thanks, again.
The watercolour listed as Herne Bay by Ralph Selden Wornum about 1819 is, I'm presuming, copied from an early drawing of the place since Ralph was born in 1847 unless it's his imagination? Thank you for this riveting programme and the link to know more about Ralph N. Wornum.
It's actually pronounced Ar-kan-saw. I feel like I am missing something in that opening story. How does the duel have an effect on Wornum's Iife other than it caused the death of her father.
The family who lived in the National Gallery for 16 years | National Gallery 2044pm 8.10.24 i was drake..... scott was not my house. as for living at a gallery..... sounds good. when do i start?
So fascinating! I loved how you presented not just the information but showed us the actual documents ! Loved it!
Any excuse to highlight some of the treasures in our archive! Thank you for watching, Debbie.
How wonderful to grow up in a gallery.
It's just one of the amazing stories we have from our archive. Thank you for watching!
That really was an interesting history of a National Gallery early employee. A live-in position. How exciting.
