Turner & the Sea: Exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, MA - programa de fim de semana...

Turner & the Sea

Turner & the Sea

On view May 31, 2014 to September 1, 2014
Located in the: Special Exhibition Galleries
In the first full-scale examination of Joseph Mallord William Turner's lifelong preoccupation with the sea, this exhibition features iconic works spanning the artist's career from his transformative Academy paintings of the late 1790s and early 1800s, to the unfinished, experimental seascapes produced towards the end of his life. At turns dramatic, contemplative, beautiful and sublime, the sea's mercurial properties captivated Turner and his contemporaries who repeatedly returned to the subject. Iconic Turner masterpieces are exhibited alongside works by other major European and American artists, providing a rich artistic context for Turner's groundbreaking vision.
Turner & the Sea was produced by the National Maritime Museum, part of Royal Museums Greenwich, London. Supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
Carolyn and Peter S. Lynch and The Lynch Foundation, and The Manton Foundation provided generous support.
The East India Marine Associates of the Peabody Essex Museum also provided support.
