Tate Britain presents Romantics, a display of works by the likes of Constable, Turner and William Blake to be housed in the Clore Galleries, re-opening after a major rehang. Over 170 paintings, prints and photographs are to spread across nine rooms in a comprehensive exploration of the origins, attitudes and lasting effects of the British Romantic artists.
The main draw is the unveiling of eight hand-coloured etchings by William Blake, purchased by Tate Collection earlier this year. The works were believed to have been lost until, extraordinarily, they turned up inside a railway timetable in a box of second-hand books purchased from a local sale in the late 1970s. The anonymous owner offered the works to Tate in a single group for £441,000.
Until 03.06.12.
