Tate Britain, 1: Introduction

Tate Britain holds the national collection of British art, or more precisely, art created in Britain, since it includes the work of many immigrant artists. In the first of this three-part series, we cover the period from 1500 to 1800, looking at artists such as Van Dyck, Daniel Mytens, William Dobson, Peter Lely, Hogarth, Reynolds, Zoffany, Stubbs, Wright of Derby and Gainsborough.
