Soapsuds and Whitewash: The Sea Paintings of JMW Turner
with Guest Speaker Barry Venning an Art Historian and Lecturer with a particular interest in the work of JMW Turner.

One third of Turner’s oil paintings are of marine or seafaring subjects, and this lecture surveys the full range of his work in this genre. They include sea battles, fishing scenes, wreck pictures, the slave trade, mythological subjects and, above all, the sea itself in all its moods.

A light lunch at 12.30pm includes a choice of two vegetarian soups plus bread, fruit, tea and coffee.

The talk will begin at 2.00pm followed by a Q&A, and will finish at 3.30pm.

The cost of this event is £25.
