First Edition 1996
This richly illustrated little volume
surveys British painting, watercolors, and sculpture from the sixteenth century to the present.
With masters such as William Blake, William Hogarth, George Stubbs, Thomas Gainborough. Joseph Mallord
William Turner, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney, the Tate Gallery offers work to please every taste. The gallery, which was opened in London in the summer of 1897 by the Prince of Wales, is best known for its modern art collections, but—as this little
compendium makes wonderfully clear it encompasses the full sweep of British art, from ornate aristocratic portraits and vivacious hunting scenes to the Pre-Raphaelites' languid femmes fatales.
