The Romance of haulage
Exhibition transport is helping provide the finishing touches to a major exhibition that will open at Tate Britain on 9 August.
Romantics, which will feature work by artists such as JMW Turner, John Constable, William Blake, Samuel Palmer and Henry Fusell, will run until 3 June 2012 and has required exhibition transport to lovingly bring together some of the world's most revered romantic paintings to the Clore Gallery in London.
For example, one painting, John Martin's 1848 canvas Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still Upon Gibeon, which has hung in Dewsbury Town Hall ever since 1928 will eventually join the Tate Britain exhibition after travelling via the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield.
In addition, the exhibition will also be looking at the long-lasting legacy of romantic painting so will include a space featuring the work of Romantic-inspired painters such as Graham Sutherland, with some works already in Tate Britain's collection and others brought on-loan from other galleries by exhibition transport professionals.
And the best news? The exhibition is free, so whether you are from Brighton or Wales, you can visit for nothing.
