A magician who commands the spirits of Earth, Air, Fire and Water. These words are those of a critic who thus described in the 19th century the incredible art of William Turner, undoubtedly the greatest representative of the golden age of English watercolor painting.

Audacity, sensitivity, experimentation, these are the key words that allow us to understand the work of this great traveler, whose light and transparency effects of rare intensity, on landscapes of the English countryside or the Venice lagoon , continue to move the least alert eye.

The Jacquemart-André museum in Paris presents visitors with a retrospective that brings together 60 watercolors and a dozen oil paintings, loaned by the prestigious Tate from London. An exhibition to discover until January 11, 2021.

Pierre Curie, the curator of the Jacquemart-André museum, and curator of this exhibition alongside David Blayney-Brown, senior curator of 19th century British art at La Tate, in the United Kingdom, was our guest.
