Discover the story of British art on this private tour of Tate Britain, where every masterpiece reveals a chapter of the nation's history.
Full description See how British artists reflected the nation's changing ideas about faith and empire. Enjoy the calm landscapes of John Constable, the brilliant light of J.M.W. Turner, and the rich colours and emotions of the Pre-Raphaelites, who transformed British painting in exciting new ways.
Discover the artworks that shaped British art—from Tudor portraits celebrating royal power to the detailed scenes of Rossetti and Millais, and Turner's dramatic skies, full of light and movement. Encounter key works of modern British art, and see how Turner's bold, almost abstract approach to colour and atmosphere anticipated later artists such as Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.
