And what about the UK? What is the most famous art gallery there?
Listen to Alex who has prepared a short but rather informative report about the Tate Gallery in London.
a)Listen to him and complete the table in your activity sheets.
Рассказученика: The Tate Gallery is the state national museum in London, keeping over sixty thousand works of art: painting, sculpture, figures and engravings.
The gallery was opened on July, 21st 1897.
The founder of this gallery was Henry Tate, a sugar manufacturer. He was a very rich man and collected paintings.
The idea of the Tate Gallery took shape in 1890. In that year Henry Tate gift of sixty-five paintings and two sculptures, almost all of them the work of Victorian contemporaries, was offered to the nation, but a gallery had still to be built to house them.
When opened seven years later, the Tate Gallery consisted of eight rooms, and was intended as a collection of contemporary British painting only; it was, moreover, a mere annex to the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square.
In 1897 the Tate Gallery was officially opened by the Prince of Wales (afterwards King Edward VII) - eight galleries housing British art. Later it had the status of the National Gallery of British art and the National Gallery of Modern Foreign Art. In 1955 the National Gallery and the Tate became independent institutions.
The Tate Gallery has become the national collection of British painting of periods, and in addition to this the national collection of modern foreign painting, and the national collection of modern sculpture, both British and foreign.

V.Систематизация знаний
a)To know more about different painters let’s listen to short reports made by some pupils. (Pupils speak about Ivanov, Brulov, Repin, Turner and Constable and show the illustrations in the books or on the slides).
b)Imagine you are in the gallery and have a chance to listen to a guide telling you about the most famous portrait by T. Gainsborough “Portrait of Duchess de Beaufort”. Read the text and find out…
1.What was typical for Gainsborough’s portraits?
2.What makes the portrait look true to life?
3.What was the women fashion like in the 18th century?
Gainsborough “Portrait of Duchess de Beaufort’
Thomas Gainsborough (1727—1788) was an outstanding English painter of the I8th century. He was a brilliant portraitist and was a favourite of the aristocracy. The artist’s deep psychological approach enabled him to impart a poetic expression of individuality.
Gainsborough’s Portrait of Duchess de Beaufort” is an outstanding work of art. The artist depicts a graceful and attractive young woman. She has a pleasant oval face, straight eyebrows and black eyes, a straight nose and well-shaped delicate hands. You call see that she is an aristocrat.
Her rather pale complexion is contrasted by the dark colour of the background (the dark background was traditional in Gainsborough's time). The artist enlivens the thee by a little colour on her cheeks.
Her grayish hair is combed very high and fastened with a comb and a blue ribbon, as was the fashion in those days. The dress is very low cut, also according to the fashion of the day.
The portrait is painted in cold colours (black, blue, grey and white). At first sight you may think that it is a traditional ceremonial portrait, but if you look attentively, you will see that her parted lips, fleeting glance, and graceful gesture of her hand help to create a true impression of the sitter’s vitality and optimism. The woman in the picture is alive, and we have a feeling that she is looking at us.
