More than 120 paintings, drawings and prints are included in the exhibition, depicting environments ranging from bazaars and domestic interiors to public baths and religious sites.
Art lovers will notice a number of famous names in the show, including John Frederick Lewis, Edward Lear, David Wilkie and Lord Leighton.
Later this year Tate Britain will present an exhibition of the work of Francis Bacon, the revered painter whose often dark and disturbing works deal with a range of psychological and emotional themes.
