“Venice was surely built to be painted by Canaletto and Turner”, so wrote a British newspaper in 1842. Despite visiting Venice on only three occasions, J.M.W. Turner’s depictions of the city are some of the most compelling and most familiar ever painted. In this lecture, Jonny Yarker will lead us around Venice in Turner’s footsteps, exploring his singular response to the city, its architecture and history.’

Presented by Dr. Jonny Yarker, Director, Lowell Libson & Jonny Yarker Ltd.
