In the Layouts editor #

1. Open Layouts > Layouts and the layout Landing Page / Home; the editor opens it in a draft.
2. Open the block palette (+ at the top left) and drag Gallery (group Gallery) into the zone main.
3. Select the block, open the Design tab and fill Parent node ID, Limit (default 12), Class filter, Image attribute identifier (default image), Thumbnail size alias (default small).
4. Publish layout. The pages that use the layout show the block on their next view.

With templates #
