J. M. W. Turner

Start date: Sunday, February 10, 2008
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, May 25, 2008

This will be the largest and most comprehensive retrospective ever presented in the United States of the career of J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851), one of the greatest landscape painters in the history of art. 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.
