Talk on J M W Turner and the Matchless Vale of Thames

A talk by art historian Catherine Parry-Wingfield from the Turner Society that explores the lure of the Thames landscape for Turner around Isleworth, Richmond, Twickenham and … Battersea. In the early years of the 19th century Turner rented houses on the river at Isleworth and Hammersmith, and in 1813 completed Sandycombe Lodge near Twickenham. Some of Turner’s most beautiful paintings, oils and watercolour were painted during these years, as the artist drew inspiration from the changing river scenery.

Entrance £5 per person, payable on the door or in advance online. The talk starts at 7pm
