This fascinating exhibition explores the history of J.M.W. Turner’s painting Margate(?), from the Sea (1835–40), and explains the complex legacy of his will and the large body of work known as the Turner Bequest.
This lecture series will give the opportunity to dive deeper into the story of Turner’s bequest, his legacy today, and the relation with Margate.
Join us for a delightfully decadent afternoon painting botanicals and wildflowers on vintage dictionary and sheet music paper, served with scones, tea and conversation, inspired by Turner’s beautiful gardens. Pen and ink, gouache and acrylic paints all provided. All materials provided and the workshop will be held on the accessible ground floor.
Be first to hear about new exhibitions, events and talks.
