There will be a new exhibition featuring one of my favorite artists, JMW Turner, opening soon. The exhibit entitled “Turner and the Masters” will be held at the Tait Britain, London beginning September 23.
This show will compare Turner’s work with some of the old masters, Rubens, Poussin, Rembrandt, Watteau and others. I believe this show will attempt to stress the strong influence the masters had on Turner. It is clear that Turner did emulate the great masters.
I have probably had more exposure to Turner’s work than any other artist. The Indianapolis Museum of Art has one of the largest holdings of his work in the U.S. My favorite Turner paintings are the landscapes that include stormy skies, shipwrecks and other scenes in nature.
Turner is always exciting and this new exhibit should be enjoyable to all who are able to attend the London show.
