CURRENT EXHIBITION
J. M. W. Turner
February 10, 2008—May 18, 2008
The exhibition of approximately 140 works,
divided almost evenly between oils and works on paper, will include
masterworks representing his extensive range of subjects—seascapes,
topographical views, historical events, mythology, modern life, and
scenes from his own fertile imagination. Many of these works have never
been shown in the United States. The exhibition will also survey
Turner’s mastery of watercolor from highly innovative and experimental
sketches and studies to large-scale finished works. Among these will be
Tintern Abbey (1794), The Battle of Fort Rock, Val d’Aouste, Piedmont 1796 (1815), Sunset (c.1820–1830), and Norham Castle, on the River Tweed (c. 1822–1823) from Tate Britain.
