Overview

Turner and the Masters will present a selection of magnificent paintings by JMW Turner (1775-1851) alongside related works by the old masters and contemporaries he strove to imitate, rival and surpass. Bringing together over one hundred pictures of supreme historical significance from collections around the world, this will be the first exhibition to look at Turner's work in the company of his greatest predecessors.
