An exploration of Turner's final, vital years, including new readings of some of his most significant paintings

Both profoundly original and astonishingly prolific, he helped transform landscape painting into an expressive art form of enormous range and power.

Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art.
