Over 100 paintings by J.M.W. Turner are going on display at Tate Britain following an international tour.
Many of the oil paintings, including Norham Castle – Sunrise (1845), and Peace – Burial at Sea (1842), are back at Tate Britain after going on show in the US and Canada.
Highlights of the new, eight-room display include Turner’s Self-Portrait (1799), which depicts the artist at 24 and will feature on the Bank of England’s new £20 banknote from 2020.
One room features Turner’s paintings from his travels around Britain, including the Lake District, Devon and Edinburgh.
Another explores Turner’s European tours of France, Germany and Italy, with works including The Sun of Venice Going to Sea (1843).
A group of the “radical late works”, discovered in the artist’s studio following his death, are shown together, including Norham Castle – Sunrise (1845), as well as some of Turner’s most celebrated depictions of stormy seas and breaking waves.
There is also a new display of the artist’s works on paper, focusing on urban scenes in cities such as London, Paris, Naples and Rome, and chosen from the thousands of sketches and watercolours held in Tate Britain’s prints and drawings room.
Works such as Norham Castle – Sunrise (1845), Peace – Burial at Sea (1842) and The Dogano, San Giorgio (1842) – have been shown around the world as part of an international tour, EY Exhibition: Late Turner – Painting Set Free.
