Join Gallery Educator Fiona Alderton to look at a work you might not expect to find at the National Gallery: a vast painting, called Messengers, by Bridget Riley, which spans two walls of the Annenberg Court. It was unveiled in 2019. 

Fiona explores Riley's long-standing connection to the Gallery, revealing how she has taken inspiration from paintings in the collection throughout her life.
