Turner's Modern World tote bag

This navy blue tote with a detail from J.M.W. Turner’s Shields, on the River Tyne, 1823, is exclusively available to celebrate our 2020 Turner’s Modern World exhibition at Tate Britain.

As well as the circular artwork detail, the organic cotton tote also features the name, dates and location of the exhibition, making it an excellent souvenir of our exhibition of one of Britain’s most treasured artists.

Shields, on the River Tyne is Turner's night scene of ships on the River Tyne. The moon shines out of a clouded sky to light up the figures working at the forefront of the painting.

About the artist

Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in London; he remained a Londoner and kept a Cockney accent all his life. He established a reputation in the Royal Academy, first as a topographical watercolourist and then within a few years as a painter of sublime and historical landscapes. After his death a large body of his works in oil and watercolour was given to the British nation, with many on show at Tate Britain.
