About the Turner Exhibition
Portrait of Turner
This 1859–1861 engraving, based on an original portrait of J.M.W. Turner by William Hall, introduces the artist whose work anchors the exhibition. Advance tickets start at ¥900 for high school students.
Turner’s Stormy Sea
This detail from Turner’s oil painting Rough Sea with Wreckage, created around 1840–1845, reflects the artist’s dramatic treatment of nature and light. Adult admission is ¥2,400 on the day or ¥2,200 in advance.
Turner is known for transforming landscape painting through his studies of light, atmosphere, and the sublime power of nature. The exhibition reorganizes works by theme while maintaining a loose chronological flow, then places Turner’s art in dialogue with modern works to explore ideas shared across generations.
