Turning to Turner

Prints by the English landscape painter and watercolorist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) reflect what many celebrated as his “truth to nature.” Turner’s art influenced several nineteenth-century American painters, Winslow Homer among them, and how they depicted the natural world. Turning to Turner features a selection of the master’s prints, including rare selections from his Liber Studiorum and Turner Gallery series, alongside prints by Homer and other artists who were inspired by Turner’s style.
