Online Curator's Tour of J.M.W. TURNER: QUEST FOR THE SUBLIME

One of the Romantic period’s greatest artists, Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) found a corollary for human moods in nature’s atmospheres, energy, and the drama of storms and transcendent effects of light. Enjoy this online tour of the exhibition to learn more from chief curator Mark Scala about Turner’s techniques, his visionary ideas, and his pursuit of the Sublime—the sensation of awe and terror felt when confronted with the extreme forces of nature.
