Turner and the Masters will juxtapose Turner’s greatest paintings alongside works by old masters and contemporaries that he hoped to imitate, rival and surpass. Featuring around 100 works the exhibition will include paintings by Claude, Canaletto, Ruisdael, Van de Velde, Poussin, Rubens, Rembrandt, Constable, Bonington and many others known by Turner at first hand. This will be a unique exhibition exploring how Turner’s responses to other artists were both acts of homage and a sophisticated form of art criticism. Not to be missed.
