Turner : The Sun Is God En Collaboration Avec La Tate
Auteur(s) : Collectif
Exhibition at the Fondation Gianadda, Martigny, 3 March - 25 June 2023
Recognised as the greatest landscape painter of the Romantic period for his mastery of light, colour and atmosphere, Turner (1775-1851) was elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1802; he remains the youngest artist ever elected to the prestigious British institution.
London and the Thames were recurrent themes, but from his countless journeys in Great Britain, Europe and the Alps, Turner produced a colourful body of work, whose chromatic exuberance is combined with the alchemy of light.
Twenty-four years after the remarkable Turner and the Alps exhibition, the Fondation Gianadda is offering a new thematic retrospective illustrated by the oils, watercolours and gouaches of this illustrious artist whose work oscillates between Romanticism and Impressionism. This exhibition catalogue demonstrates the extent to which watercolours play a crucial role in Turner's ability to capture the intensity of the forces of nature with unparalleled expressiveness.
