Tate Britain
Tate Britain in London houses the United Kingdom's national collection of British art from 1500 to the present. Its displays trace painting, sculpture, and works on paper by artists born or based in Britain. The collection includes a large group of oils, watercolors, and sketchbooks by J. M. W. Turner. This catalogue includes thirteen paintings held at Tate Britain by Joseph Farquharson, Hercules Brabazon Brabazon, Turner, and George Thomson.

Before you go
Before you go, check the Tate Britain website for the current list of works on display. Works on paper are especially sensitive to light, so the museum rotates watercolors, drawings, and sketchbooks regularly. Some paintings may be on loan to other institutions, so confirm that a specific work is on view if it matters to you. Plan enough time to see the collection, as the galleries cover several centuries of British art.
