The Bank of England has announced the release date of the new £20 note. The new polymer notes featuring the artist JMW Turner will be released on February 20, 2020.
The new 20-pound note celebrates Turner, his art and his legacy in all their radiant, colorful, evocative glory. The new polymer note will also contain sophisticated security features.
The new note depicts Turner's celebrated painting the Fighting Temeraire - a tribute to the ship HMS Temeraire which played a role in Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
It was voted the nation's favorite painting in a 2005 poll run by BBC Radio 4.
Other features of the new banknote include the quote: "Light is, therefore, color", taken from an 1818 lecture by Turner referring to the use of light, shade, color, and tone in his pictures.
Turner's signature from his will, the document with which he bequeathed many of his paintings to the nation, also appears on the new banknote.
