[ National ] [ Tate Britain ] [ Royal Academy ] [ National Portrait ] [ Tate Modern ] [ Courtauld ]

An exhibition that tracks Turner's watercolour work through time. From architecture to topography, ideal and historic landscape to nature studies, and finished works to private sketches, the selection reveals Turner's extraordinary range as a watercolourist.

At the same time, it shows the development of the virtuoso techniques that enabled him first to paint watercolours that could compete with oil paintings, and later to transform all aspects of his art by their example.
