Throughout his very long career, the deeply original British landscape painter
J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) drew inspiration from works by both old masters and contemporaries. Turner was often uneasy, fussy and even deliberately competitive, but these relationships with his predecessors and peers were always productive, fuelling his progress along his most demanding path.
The "Turner and his painters" exhibition retraces and illustrates the development of Turner's very personal vision, through the many chance or deliberate, but always opportune and enriching, interactions that influenced his remarkable career. Nearly 100 paintings and other graphic works (studies and engravings) from major British and American collections, as well as the Louvre and the Prado will be on show.
