[Overview]
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) is not only one of Britain's greatest painters but also one of the most original artists in the history of landscape painting. With his exceptional technique, he depicted the diverse expressions of nature, such as stormy seascapes, sublime mountains, and tranquil rural landscapes, while also engaging in historical landscape painting. His innovative landscape expressions, enveloped in light and atmosphere, continue to be a source of inspiration for many artists today.
This exhibition features approximately 70 oil paintings and watercolors, as well as prints, carefully selected from museums across the UK, including the National Galleries of Scotland, and museums in Japan. It also re-examines Turner's art based on the latest knowledge, delving into its core and appeal.
