Turner and the Sea

[anteros_lmc]

Last week, the National Maritime Museum launched their latest major temporary exhibition Turner and the Sea. Blurb as follows:

Turner and the Sea at the National Maritime Museum is the first full-scale examination of J.M.W Turner’s lifelong fascination with the sea. Dramatic, contemplative, violent, beautiful, dangerous and sublime – the sea was the perfect subject to showcase Turner’s singular talents, and the 120 pieces on display include some of the most celebrated paintings of the artist’s long career.

There's an excellent review of the exhibition in the Guardian here and the NMM have also posted this rather nice trailer online.

Neat! Turner, along with Hunt and others give me something to aspire to in my attempts at nautical art.
