Turner from the Tate: the Making of a Maste

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), who created some of the most magnificent landscape paintings in Western art history, is even today called England’s greatest painter. This exhibition will feature more than 30 oil paintings complemented by watercolors and sketches, totaling some 110 works in all, from London’s Tate Gallery, which houses the world’s largest collection of Turner works. The exhibition will trace Turner’s creative development from sketches that glimmer with genius, executed in his teens, to the foremost works of his prime, when he pursued new directions, fearless of criticism, and to his late works, painted at the height of his powers.
