A Society visit to this exhibition, curated by Ian Warrell, which is already running and provides a rare opportunity to see some of Turner’s finest watercolours from a private collection. Organised by the Holburne Museum, Bath, and on show there in 2025, this version will include an additional selection of watercolours from the Towner’s collection.
Placing him amongst his notable contemporaries, ‘Impressions in Watercolour’ showcases Turner at his most experimental and gestural through a selection of his landscape works and seascapes. Contextualising his works alongside those by other nineteenth-century artists, including Thomas Girtin and John Sell Cotman, it brings to light the exciting developments taking place in the medium of watercolour painting during this period.
