MADRID.- Having already been seen in London and
Paris, Turner and the Masters will now be shown at the Museo del Prado in
Madrid. Its aim is to reveal to visitors the extent of Turner’s links with other
historically important artists and the profoundly original way in which he
assimilated their influence. This comparison will assist in an understanding of
how Turner’s approach to and assimilation of other artists was intended not just
as an homage to them but also involved a subtle and highly original type of
transformation of their teachings. On exhibition 22 June through 19
September.
