Turner & The Sea Exhibition Now Open!

Posted on 27 November 2013

The 'Turner & The Sea' exhibition at the National Maritime Museum co-curated by Richard Johns has opened to wonderful reviews.

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Richard Dorment said 'What a show this is ... the organizers have snagged all the great maritime paintings and chosen works on paper that reveal so much not only about how Turner worked, but how he thought. The catalogue by lead-curator Christine Riding and co-curator Richard Johns is first rate. Wow.'

You can read the full review here.

Prior to the opening of the exhibition Richard Johns wrote a fascinating piece for The Guardian exploring the importance and impact of Turner's more private works .
