Turners Nudes - Turner's House in Twickenham
Until Oct 31 - Between the Sheets: Turner's Nudes
There have been rave reviews in the national press for this exhibition concentrating on a rarely seen side of Britain's greatest artist.
Loved as the master of landscapes and seascapes such as The Fighting Temeraire, Hannibal Crossing the Alps and Norham Castle, few know that Turner's sketchbooks also contain depictions of the female form.
Yet Turner was a compulsive recorder of his life and travels, and produced drawings and watercolours of models, sexual encounters, literary fantasies, and his lovers such as Sophia Booth.
This small-scale exhibition is one of the first to look at Turner's engagement with the naked female form, specifically within intimate and erotic contexts and provides invaluable insight into the man, and his attitude to and relationship with women.
This exhibition is possible thanks to a generous loan from Tate.
