Turner at Petworth. (Report from Europe).(Joseph Mallord William Turner exhibition)(Brief Article)
Joseph Mallord William Turner spent much of his time in the 1820s and 1830s at Petworth House in West Sussex, the estate of George O'Brien Wyndham, the third earl of Egremont. The earl commissioned many works from Turner, and twenty of those paintings still hang at Petworth, although they belong to the collection of the Tate in London. For an exhibition entitled Turner at Petworth, they are joined by about seventy sketches, watercolors, gouaches, and oil paintings Turner made of the house, parkland, and gardens. The exhibition is on view from July 6 to September 29. A catalogue with the same name as the exhibition has been written by David Blayney Brown, Christopher Rowell, and Ian Warrell.
