Скачать или смотреть Turner and the Thames: Five Paintings

Join our House Director Ricky Pound exploring our latest exhibition!

Turner and the Thames: Five Paintings featured 5 rare oil sketches, seldom seen by the public, and ran until Friday 21st March at Sandycombe Lodge, 40 Sandycoombe Road, St Margarets, Twickenham TW1 2LR.

The works have been chosen for their depictions of scenes close to his house near the river, and feature riparian landscapes from Isleworth to Windsor. The Thames enticed Turner to buy a plot of land in Twickenham on which to build a retreat for him and his father in the 1800s and he designed the villa so that he could glimpse the river from his bedroom window. Turner spent a lot of time on the Thames both working and fishing, keeping his catch in two ponds in what was then a large, country garden.
