This is the first major survey of Turner’s late period, dating from 1835 to 1851. Among the 150 works on display are large-scale oil paintings, drawings, prints and watercolours, which together reveal the energy and productivity of the English painter’s final years.
Pictured is ‘Ancient Rome; Agrippina Landing with the Ashes of Germanicus’ (1839), JMW Turner. Image courtesy of Tate.
