LONDON—The Tate and the National Gallery in London announced today that Simon Sainsbury, the British philanthropist who died last year, bequeathed 18 paintings to the nation, reports Bloomberg.

Five works by Degas, Gauguin, Monet, and Henri Rousseau will go to the National Gallery. The remaining 13, by Francis Bacon, Balthus, Pierre Bonnard, Lucian Freud, Thomas Gainsborough, Victor Pasmore, John Wootton, and Johann Zoffany, will go to the Tate.

Together the works are worth between £70 million and £100 million ($144 million to $206 million), said Tate director Nicholas Serota.

Sainsbury, a member of the family that founded the J. Sainsbury Plc supermarket chain, also financed a wing of the National Gallery that opened in 1991.
