British Vision. Observation and Imagination in British Art 1750-1950

Organised by the Ghent Museum of Fine Arts in the autumn of 2007, 'British Vision. Observation and imagination in British Art, 1750 - 1950' encompasses an impressive display of some two hundred years of British art. The exhibition is the first such compilation of British art to go on display on the continent in decades. All the big names will be represented at the Ghent Museum of Fine Arts: Hogarth, Gainsborough, Stubbs, Blake, Fuseli, Constable, Turner, Burne-Jones, Millais, Rossetti, Spencer, Sutherland, Bacon, Hockney, etc. However, there is a great deal more to the exhibition than a collection of two centuries of art. Beyond a mere compilation of British art, the exhibition shall endeavour to bring to light its distinctive and unique character.
