Marking the 250th anniversary of his birth, this exhibition will explore the work and technique of legendary British landscape artist JMW Turner. It presents a rare opportunity for audiences to see the Liber Studiorum in its entirety for the first time in over 100 years.
Turner is renowned for the vitality of his landscape paintings and the Liber Studiorum is a compelling visual manifesto in print, widely regarded as his most ambitious series of landscape engravings. The exhibition will pair Turner’s evocative Liber prints with a series of Turner’s watercolours from the Whitworth’s collection, as well as loaned works from institutional and public collections. Visitors are invited to explore Turner's artistic legacy and the significance of his prints.
