In 2020, the Musée Jacquemart-André presents a major retrospective of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851). Undeniably the greatest representative of the golden age of English watercolor, he exploited the effects of light and transparency in English landscapes and Venetian lagoons. The catalog presents a selection of works that allows us to follow the English painter's evolution step by step: from his conventional beginnings as a topographical landscape and architectural draughtsman, to his maturity, where he embraced an extraordinary diversity of subjects in a lively style, drawing on a subtle appreciation of light, color, and atmospheric effects.
