Greatest Painting Poll

BBC Radio 4's Today programme has joined forces with London's National Gallery for a new poll which aims to find the greatest painting in Britain. The survey, believed to be the first of its kind, will allow members of the public to nominate and comment on their favourite works of art. Any painting currently hanging in a British art gallery is eligible, regardless of its origins. The shortlist will be revealed on 15 August, with the winning painting announced on the Today programme on 5 September. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
