这本装帧精美、策划富有想象力的书籍汇集了泰特美术馆过去500年间的藏品精华，现以平装本形式重新出版，方便读者阅读。对于希望在家中收藏英国艺术史瑰宝的读者来说，这是一本不可或缺的宝藏。

 

泰特不列颠美术馆是英国自1500年至今的艺术殿堂。这本精美的指南是对该馆藏品亮点的必要介绍，讲述了英国艺术数百年来非凡发展的历程，叙述了藏品的故事，并展示了一系列令人惊叹的展出作品。

 

泰特美术馆收藏的英国艺术作品充满了富有想象力的创造与再创造。这本全景式的书籍将这一美学巧思作为持续的故事来庆祝，揭示了500年的艺术如何成为一面迷人的透镜，通过它我们可以更深入地理解自己和社会，无论是过去的还是现在的，无论是英国的还是世界其他地方的。

 

英国艺术还以其独特的流派而著称：如“交谈画”之称的团体肖像画，聚焦于朋友、家人和盟友之间的社会关系；以英国文学为主题的作品，特别是莎士比亚、弥尔顿和丁尼生的作品（而非古典神话）；以及18世纪末和19世纪初反映与法国的战争和工业革命科学创新的时事主题。霍加斯带来了社会参与的艺术，近期的英国青年艺术家运动中的艺术家们也是如此。

 

这本丰富的泰特美术馆藏品指南为读者提供了英国艺术丰富历史的导览，展示了馆藏艺术品的非凡多样性。

 

This beautifully presented and imaginatively curated book offers a collection of highlights from the Tate collection over the past 500 years, now reprinted in an accessible paperback format. A must-have treasure for those wanting to keep home a piece of British Art history in their own homes.

 

Tate Britain is the home of British art from 1500 to the present day. This beautiful guide to the highlights of the collection provides an essential introduction to the extraordinary development of British art over centuries, telling the story of the collection and presenting a selection of the stunning works on display.

 

The art from Britain in Tate's collection is rich with imaginative invention and reinvention. This panoramic book celebrates this aesthetic ingenuity as an ongoing story, revealing how 500 years of art can act as a fascinating lens through which to deepen our understanding of ourselves and society, past and present, in both Britain and in the rest of the world.

 

British art is also notable for genres unique to itself: group portraits, known as 'conversation pieces', focusing on social relations between friends, family and allies; themes from British literature, particularly Shakespeare, Milton and Tennyson (rather than classical mythology); and topical subjects in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries reflecting the wars with France and the scientific innovations of the Industrial Revolution. Hogarth brought an art of social engagement, as did the artists associated with the Young British Art movement more recently.

 

This generous companion to the Tate collection provides a guide to the rich history of British art, demonstrating the remarkable range of art in the collection.
