"Anyway, what do you think of the exhibition at Tate Britain?
I wanted to go to the Gallery early so that I could maybe have
some relatively quiet time there
Paintings will be good - they have been advertising it for ages
in tube stations and on buses
and last night I bit the bullet and booked!"
The Gallery
The Exhibition
Book your tickets now for this spectacular
exhibition exploring the relationship between three giants of
nineteenth century art
New extended opening hours
JMW Turner, James McNeill Whistler and Claude Monet each changed
the course of landscape painting
Whistler and Monet were friends and both initially acknowledged
the profound influence of Turner, adopting and working their own
variations on themes developed by their artistic predecessor
Turner’s atmospheric effects gave rise to Whistler’s
Thames Nocturnes, and both Turner and Whistler informed Monet’s
revolutionary paintings that went on to inspire the term Impressionism
This exceptional exhibition focuses on views of the River Thames,
the Seine and the city and lagoon of Venice - a rare opportunity
to see works which were highly controversial in their own day
but are now seen as some of the most poetic and evocative images
ever produced
Organised by the Art Gallery of Ontario, Tate Britain and the
Réunion des musées Nationaux and musée d'Orsay
"An unbeatable combination
Three of the most popular artists of the 19th century plus plenty
of sun-dappled water"
The Observer
"Put Turner and Monet together and you have a fresh equation
Combine them with Whistler, who is much rarer, and you have a
completely new recipe”
