Turner´s Timeless Watercolours - Poetic Visions of Nature

The exhibition includes the Gallery's Vaughan Bequest of watercolours and drawings and a representative selection from the Liber Studiorum print series; Turner's 'visual manifesto' which displays his aspirations for landscape art.

His luminous watercolours have inspired artists, scholars and the general public for over two centuries, and demonstrate his dramatically innovative style, experimental approach to watercolour, and personalized vision of nature. Turner's fascination with nature's elemental forces is reflected in these works, skillfully captured through the fleeting effects of light, atmosphere and glowing colour. The exhibition traces the development of the artist's revolutionary style from his early topographical drawings (1793-1802) to his later evocative sketches (1836-c.1840) executed during his continental tours. A special lecture series and brochure accompanies the exhibition throughout January. Pressetext
