British Baroque : Power and Illusion

4 Feb-19 Apr 2020

Overview

This is the first time that Tate has staged a show devoted to the later 17th century and the first to explore baroque art in Britain. It is a chance to encounter a rich, sophisticated but overlooked era of art history. Many of the works are on display for the first time - some borrowed from the stately homes they have hung in since they were made.
