Britain's What's On Event Guide
Turner's Vision at Petworth
For the first time in 20 years, a wide range of JMW Turner’s artistic studies of the extraordinary landscape at Petworth House and Park will be exhibited in the very place that inspired him. Visitors will be able to discover more about his methods, and the impact Petworth had on Britain’s most celebrated artist.
‘Turner’s Vision at Petworth’ will include oil paintings and works on paper on loan from Tate and several private lenders. This range of objects gives a fascinating insight into Turner’s artistic approach, his experiments with colour and use of materials. They tell the story of his connection with the Petworth landscape, and with George O’Brien Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837) who collected many of his works.
In addition to the works on display in the exhibition, visitors will also be able to see the 20 oil paintings by Turner on permanent display in Petworth House, then step into the very landscape which inspired him: Capability Brown’s 700-acre deer park and Pleasure Garden.
This exhibition is part of Turner 250, a year-long festival of special exhibitions and events. Taking place throughout 2025, the programme celebrates 250 years since the birth of JMW Turner.
