Love and Death: Victorian paintings from Tate on view at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery |
| September 11th, 2012 01:35:11 am |
BIRMINGHAM.- This autumn eleven of the most spectacular Victorian paintings in the national collection have traveled to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery for a special exhibition. Love and Death: Victorian Paintings from Tate features major late 19th-century paintings from Tate alongside related works from Birmingham Museums’ own collections. The centrepiece is John William Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott (1888), one of Tate's most famous and popular paintings, which rarely travels outside London. The eleven loans from Tate are complemented by paintings, sculpture, and works on paper from Birmingham Museums’ own collection, giving a context to showcase important Victorian works that have rarely been shown in recent years. These include Frederic Leighton’s preparatory oil for And The Sea Gave Up The Dead That Were In It (c.1892) and an exquisite pencil study by the same artist for the profile of the dead |
