The exhibition begins with the great topographical and classical painters of the 18th century, then moves through to the romantic, pre-Raphaelite and impressionist artists of the 19th century and finally reaches the pioneering modernists of the 20th century.
It includes many of the Tate鈥檚 finest oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, as well as prints, photographs and books.
