John Julius Angerstein (1735-93) was a London businessman, collector and patron of the arts. When he died his collection of thirty-eight pictures was bought for the nation (for approximately £60,000) and formed the basis of the National Gallery, founded in 1824 and first situated in Angerstein's house at 100 Pall Mall. It included Rubens' Rape of the Sabine Women, Claude's Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba, Rembrandt's Woman taken in Adultery, and Sebastiano del Piombo's Raising of Lazarus which Angerstein had bought from the celebrated Orléans Collection in 1798 for 3500 guineas and which became item No.1 in the National Gallery Catalogue. Angerstein's house soon became too small and the present gallery designed by William Wilkins was built between 1832 and 1838. Philip Miles was a railway magnate who bought Leigh Court near Bristol and filled it with a fine collection of Old Master paintings. It included the famous "Altieri Claudes", originally purchased by William Beckford in 1799 for the then astounding price of £6825 for the pair. The collection was dispersed at Christie's in 1884.
