Since 1897 · British art and international modernity
The Tate collection spans five centuries of British art and global modernity: landscape, portrait, Pre-Raphaelitism and avant-garde respond to it between national memory and experimentation.
The Tate opened in 1897 as the National Gallery of British Art, thanks in particular to the donation of Henry Tate. Its institutional history then led to a network including Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. Tate Britain maintains an exceptional narrative of British art, with major ensembles by Turner, Blake and the Pre-Raphaelites. Turner occupies a central place: oils, watercolors and studies show how port, mountains, fire and sea become phenomena of light. Waterhouse extends the Victorian poetic and mythological narrative; Sargent renews the portrait and the outdoor scene with a brilliant touch. The international collection, particularly visible at Tate Modern, broadens the route to cubism, abstraction, surrealism and contemporary practices. Matisse represents this liberation of color and form. A Tate collection is therefore not just a building: it connects British heritage, world modern art, research and public exhibition. The "Tate" selection notably compares Fishermen at Sea and I'm Half Fed Up with Shalott's Shalott Lady. His reading favors the material.
Tate holds two narratives together: the continued invention of British art and the ruptures that transformed global modernity.
