The first retrospective of the work of J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) presented in the United States in over 40 years, this exhibition features some 140 paintings and watercolors—more than half of them from Tate Britain's Turner Bequest—along with works from other collections in Europe and North America. The artist’s extensive iconographic range is represented, from seascapes and topographical views to historical subjects and scenes from his imagination.
